Milan’s Brera Modern gallery to open in December after 50 years of delays

Museum has been plagued by numerous delays and has seen off almost 40 Italian governments

More than half a century and 39 Italian governments after it was first envisioned, a new museum will open later this year to house modern art from Milan's Pinacoteca di Brera gallery.

The Brera Modern, just a few doors from the main gallery, has been plagued by numerous delays, most recently the discovery of asbestos and problems with the conditioning system.
