Museum of Italian Design - Cya On The Road

Italian design museum: Milano, as we all know, is the center of innovation and capital of fashion. Consequently, this and much more is what the city represents in our tour.  Once off the “Cadorna” subway station we leave on the right the Castello Sforzesco, one of the centers of the early Renaissance and home of the great Leonardo, and we reach the center of the new one: The Museum of Italian Design, temple of the works of contemporary artists. At the beginning of the twentieth century, Milan was a centre of creation of new styles. The city saw the birth and the work of many talents, such as Giacosa, D’Orazio, Branzi. Do you know these names? If not, you will learn about them in this museum! The Museum has a long history, almost 100 years. It boasts a permanent collection of iconic pieces that summarize the history of Italian design of the twentieth century. And with a rich program of exhibitions and events, including also outstanding theatrical performances and conferences within its theater. The museum is also well connected both to the subway and to the historic tram lines of Milan, the best way to discover the city. But there is more, if you do not want to "scadregarvi" (that is, to stand up, as they say in Milan) from the sofa of your home, the museum since the time of the pandemic has started to offer the opportunity to carry out a tour completely online! Photographs, advertising campaigns that have marked history, original packaging, sculptures and paintings: a rich collection that surprises and involves. After the tour you can relax on the museum terrace, enjoying the view of the city and tasting a rich selection of liqueurs and wines and in particular vintage gin. The bar also offers a wide selection of refined Italian dishes.    And many more events await you, once you leave the museum, in the Giancarlo De Carlo Garden, which houses works by great artists and designers such as "I Bagni Misteriosi" by Giorgio De Chirico. And don’t forget to shop in the store! You will find rich catalogues, furnishings and gift ideas, and even books and toys to immerse the little ones in the world of art!
