Tour Overview

This one-hour Ways Tours experience focuses on Leonardo’s Last Supper. Admission and a guide are included. The museum viewing itself lasts 15 minutes; the rest of the experience provides context and visit arrangements.

The Last Supper remains in the refectory of the Dominican convent beside Santa Maria delle Grazie. The painting and its architectural setting form part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A museum reservation should not be treated as a separate guided visit inside the church.

Timed Admission to Da Vinci’s Masterpiece

Timed admission brings your group into the refectory for a 15-minute viewing. The museum controls the number of visitors in each session, so a guided ticket does not provide a private room or unlimited viewing time.

Explore the Painting with a Guide

Completed in 1498, the painting shows the apostles reacting to Christ’s announcement that one of them will betray him. A guide introduces the composition, gestures and perspective that direct attention toward the central figure of Christ.

Technique and Conservation

Leonardo worked on dry plaster rather than using the traditional fresco method. This allowed him to develop the image gradually but left the paint vulnerable. The composition and the history of its conservation are useful subjects to consider during the short visit.
