Mudec
MUDEC, the Museum of Cultures in Milan, is a center dedicated to exploring and presenting the ethnographic heritage of the city. It is an interdisciplinary institution housed in the former industrial Ansaldo Area in the Tortona District, designed by English architect David Chipperfield. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your visit to MUDEC
Key Highlights and Must-See Exhibits
MUDEC’s collection spans over 7,000 objects, including works of art, daily objects, fabrics, and musical instruments from around the world, with a focus on the Far East, Africa, and pre-Columbian Americas. The permanent exhibition, “Global Milano. The World Seen from Here,” delves into themes of globalization, imperialism, and mercantilism, reflecting on the interconnectedness of the world from the Early Modern Age to the present.
Must-See Highlights:
- Manfredo Settala Collection: Featuring a rare feather mosaic portrait of Pope Alessandro VII Chigi from 17th-century Mexico.
- Temporary Exhibitions: MUDEC regularly hosts temporary exhibitions of internationally renowned artists such as Roy Lichtenstein, Vincent van Gogh, and David Lachapelle. Be sure to check the schedule in advance.
What Not to Miss
- Agorà: This covered courtyard is the heart of MUDEC, featuring a striking cloud-shaped vault. It serves as a vibrant meeting place for cultures and communities.
- Interactive Installations: The permanent collection includes immersive installations that provide deeper insights into the themes of the exhibits.
- Gift Shop: The Mudec Design Store offers unique souvenirs and art-inspired gifts.
Tips for Tourists
- Purchase tickets online in advance, especially for popular exhibitions, to avoid long lines. Note that online tickets can only be used from the day after purchase.
- Weekdays, especially mornings, are less crowded. Avoid weekends if possible for a more relaxed experience.
- The MUDEC Bistrot and Mudec Club restaurant offer a range of dining options. For a quicker bite, the refreshment area is convenient.
- If you plan to visit multiple times, consider purchasing an annual pass. However, be mindful of the number of exhibitions planned for the year to ensure it’s worth the investment.
- Guided Tours: Opt for guided tours to gain more detailed insights into the exhibits. Note that these may come at an additional cost.
