Exhibition itinerary
The exhibition itinerary develops on the ground floor, with 5 rooms linked by 4 inclined ramps (maximum slope: 21%). The visit starts with the Sala Capitolare of the early Dominican monastery, followed by the Monumental Sacristy built in 1565 with its cabinets in walnut wood made by a well-known Milanese woodcarver. The cabinets contain liturgical furnishings and precious reliquaries witnessing the devotion of many Milanese families towards the Dominican convent.

From the monumental sacristy it is possible to access the Cappella Portinari, a masterpiece of Lombard Renaissance architecture. In the chapel you can admire the fresco cycle by Vincenzo Foppa and the “Arca di San Pietro Martire”. The Chapel is a squared-plan room; in the centre there is the Arca du San Pietro Martire, a wonderful example of gothic sculpture. To visit the early Christian necropolis you must overcome 15 consecutive steps (16 cm high each), with handrail on the right and two consecutives passageways (80 cm and 60 cm wide); this area has soft lights.

Orientation signage
The building has directional arrows written in large letters (at least 7 cm) and well contrasted.

• toilet with hinged door (65 cm wide)
• floor-standing toilet (clear space: in front: 90 cm; on the right side: 24 cm; on the left side: 90 cm)
