ABOUT US

Ad Artem is a Milanese company which has been working since 1993 to promote and enhance cultural heritage. We support cultural foundations, including museums, exhibition promoters, public institutions and private enterprises to promote wide-scope cultural projects: Picasso, Raffaello, Michelangelo, Caravaggio, Leonardo are just a few of the great artists which we have made familiar to the general public.

Our aim is to popularize culture at all level: the adult public, tourists, students from all levels of the schooling system, families with children, official representatives of Organizations and companies we collaborate with.

At the Cenacolo Vinciano Museum we provide a guided tour service up to the unique value of the Last Supper by Leonardo da Vinci, a listed Unesco treasure, which requires the utmost degree of skills and global awareness.

The museum worker, the tour guide, represent an invaluable figure connecting the masterpiece with the public and the best person to guarantee a warm and devoted welcome to the different individuals making up the museum public, bound to have different geographical, social and cultural background.

A visit to the Cenacolo Vinciano Museum has a dual goal: making a personal encounter with the masterpiece – the guide will “lead” the eye – and the study of its fascinating story.

Not just guided tours

The opportunity to use a special multi-function space inside the Cenacolo Vinciano Museum provides additional value to our services, as it allows us to offer an enhanced and immersive experience to visitors and exploit different educational strategies.

The space in fact can be turned into a Renaissance workshop, to experiment with the art techniques exploited by Leonardo, into a conference room to discuss in details specific topics, into a launching pad to embark on a journey on the footsteps of Leonardo in Milan and in the Lombardy region, or even into a stage to conjure up the feelings and emotions expressed by the figures in the painting.

These are our proposals: standard guided tour, combo guided tour, guided tour combined with a workshop, book now!
