Milan castle

Today was a day to be spent in Milan. And less hectic than our previous days. Really just one tourist sight to see, the castle area.









The castle includes a number of museums, starting with an early sculpture gallery.













The armouries.






There is a furniture collection cheek by jowl with the fine art galleries.




A devil automaton


Restoration work carried out while you watch















I rather liked a small exhibition of modern glass



And if you are wondering what this little lot is, it is a hunting/butchering kit, so you can quickly dismember the game you have just hunted down. Top quality equipment.




You finish with an extensive musical instrument collection. Including these eclectic guitars.






And after finishing with the castle there is a nice park behind culminating in an impressive arch.





And lastly, in a side building there is a Michelangelo museum containing just one, unfinished sculpture, a pieta
