In the popular paintings of this religious event, Jesus Christ is in the middle amongst 11 disciples. In actuality, Judas was not present after betraying Jesus, so two figures at the table would have had to share the middle spot since there were exactly 12 figures on that night in history.

The table at the last supper was low and everyone sat on the floor. Unlike in the painting, the disciples sat around the table, not all on one side like a master of ceremonies and the panel.

If your question means "When in Milan can I use my camera for a picture of 'The Last Supper'? The answer is No. If you want me to show you a picture just click the link below! There you will find a couple of fake ones and the real Leonardo one.
The picture that you are citing, was based on European concepts of dining. In the Middle East, food was eaten reclining around a central table, and thus it was likely that Jesus sat in a central position, and the disciples were on the sides of that central table.
In Luke 22 Judas Betrays Jesus before the last supper. Durer did more than one image of the Last Supper, and at least one of them has 12 apostles in it. I think that I found the one you mean... a horizontal version that seems to be a picture of after Judas Iscariot left the meal. Addition: The reference to Luke 22 is misleading: In Luke 22:21 Jesus says:'Behold, the hand of him that betrayeth me is with me on the table'. And as the question implies, the custom is to portray 12 apostles in paintings of the 'Last Supper'. But it is true that Dürer includes only 11 apostles in the woodcut of 1523.
