The Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan shares Palazzo Brera with the Brera Academy. Francesco Maria Richini rebuilt the Jesuit convent radically in 1627 and 1628, and Giuseppe Piermarini designed extensions. The Jesuits received the convent in 1572. The infobox gives 1776, the Academy's founding year, while the text dates the site to 1572 and the gallery's opening to 1809.
The article does not describe the building's architectural style, materials or dimensions. It says Neoclassicism was the aim of the Academy's teaching.
The gallery separated from the Academy in 1882, and nineteen rooms opened in 1903. A modern art wing opened at Palazzo Citterio in 2024. It is Milan's main public painting gallery. The article gives no hours or ticket details.
