Please note that the picture attached to this page on Yahoo (June 2009) does not represent the way the restored image looks. The colors are much more subtle and the timber beams above the heads of the apostles are not there at all. As other reviewers mentioned, make sure to book your tickets a couple of weeks ahead of time as you cannot purchase them at the door. Groups of about 20 enter the room after going through a small dehumidification room. You can stay for 15 minutes and then the next group is let in. At one end of the room in the amazing DaVinci and at the other end is another painting by a different artist. I guess that about sums up how much attention the other guy gets. Iconic.

This is by and far the most important thing to see and do while visiting Milan. The shopping is great and the Duomo is huge, but this is spectacular and beautiful. Book in advance as this was the most difficult to book (and protected historical item) of all the things we did during our two weeks in Italy.

Even though we had a reservation, I was surprised that there were so few people and we got in so fast! I never realized the Last Supper was a frescoe on the wall of the dining hall. For some reason I always pictured it as a framed painting. It's wonderful to view it in person.

We visited S. Maria delle Grazie last week. Don't know whether it's because of the Da Vinci Code, but you have to book to view the Last Supper at least 3 days in advance - so a fair hike away from the main centre, we had to head back.

The last time I visited S. Maria delle Grazie, restoration was in progress and the Last Supper was mostly obscured. It has now been lovingly restored and one can again view the magnificence of da Vinci's masterpiece. Visitors should be aware that the fresco is not in lavish surroundings but is in a large room but the size and beauty of the fresco makes a trip to S. Maria well worthwhile - especially for da Vinci fans.
