Mudec

Has a lovely time here in April of 2024. Very interesting exhibitions and a cool permanent collection as well. Lots of interesting history about Italy's colonialism in Africa. Security guards will follow you around and watch you like a hawk. Kind of treated me like I was suspicious or had never been to a museum before.

Absolutely brilliant exhibition on ethnographic relationship between Italy and the rest of the world. The entry for the main exhibition is free and doesn't need advance reservation.

Mudec - Museum of Cultures in Milan.
A well designed exhibition space in an old factory, a very nice and modern place.

1. Visited the permanent free exhibition The Permanent Collection - dedicated to European colonialism, where I learned about the history of Italy, especially colonialism, and this topic is rarely touched upon anywhere.
I think this is one of the most thoughtful ways to present colonialism around the world, taking into account the consequences, the trauma, and the path forward to a better and more inclusive society.

2. The second exhibition that I came to in the same museum by chance, without planning in advance - Vincent van Gogh pittore colto. The museum is modern, but the solution to the exhibition, in this case Van Gogh, was magnificent. A fantastic exhibition with a historical chronology explaining the artistic development of the artist.
About 40 exhibited works brought from the Dutch museum.
I learned that Van Gogh had a passionate interest in books and reading, and that the artist was also fond of Japan and collected large quantities of Japanese prints, which are also presented at the exhibition.

Excellent work by the exhibition curators, delight and gratitude.🫶🏼

I stopped by here to see the van Gogh exhibit currently taking place. The museum itself is beautiful on the inside! The curves on the main lobby before entering the exhibits are great looking. Very fascinating seeing a quick glimpse of van Gogh on the outside before going to the main exhibit.

Wow. One of the best looking museum I’ve ever been to. When I visited there was a temporary exhibition of surrealist art (Magritte, Dalí etc.) very beautifully arranged. Then there is the smaller permanent exhibition of Milanese cultural history, very interesting as well. But the place itself is very neatly arranged in an old industrial building with modern touches.

Permanent exhibition is free (you still need to queue up for a ticket, but there was very few people on Monday at opening time 2:30pm) and definitely worth the 1h+ spent reading through.

I went to the exhibit of David Lachapelle and it was very nice. The building itself is impressive and breathtaking when you walk up the stairs. The exhibit was interesting and well put together. Loved the gift shop. So many cool things!

Wonderful museum.
I was there for the permanent exhibition and the Machu Picchu.
The Permenant exhibition is very nice, especially the african part.
The Machu Picchu exhibition is just stunning. Its atmosphere is so magical, and i learned a lot about the Inca people, and it fits well for adults the same as for children. The colours, sounds, and feelings are great
Btw the stairway to the second floor is beautiful.
If you're visiting milan, you should definitely go visit this place!

This was a wonderful museum to visit - not to mention great Instagram shots of the main stairwell up to the exhibits - but also one that is well-curated and unpretentious. We visited the Mondrian exhibit and the permanent collection which was very well curated considering it is largely about European colonialism. I think this is one of the most thoughtful ways to present on colonialism throughout the world while bearing in mind the trauma, impact, and way forward to a better and more inclusive society. Well done!!!

I was wandering around Milan when I stumbled upon this museum. When I came in I immediately realised that I should buy a ticket when I looked at the interior (the stairs that lead to the exhibition). But as it turned out, the museum is free which was a shock to me, as it is extremely unusual for Italy. Well, it was worth it. I learned a lot about Italian history, especially colonialism, and this topic is rarely addressed anywhere. Also the shop and the cafe are really nice

The museum itself is so pretty - the "Dalí, Magritte, Man Ray e il surrealismo" exhibition was also gorgeous. The museum space was adapted for it perfectly!
Super cute museum shops too.

Good museum, with a permanent section (free) and several temporary exhibitions (not free). There is also a restaurant and parking.

I went specifically to see MACHU PICCHU exhibition. It was a great experience and beautiful exhibition. It is only there for a short while I think, but either way, Mudec has a cafe, a shop, toilets and various exhibitions. Worth the visit.

Very nice museum.
Highly didactic permanent (& free!) Exhibition about art per eption and cultural evolution from the last centuries to nowadays.
Came by chance, will come back and advice by will. Grazie mille for your imagination and intelligence !

This is one of my favorite museums in the city! Several times a year they have the must-visit exhibitions of the worldwide famous artists

Amazing art center. We were lucky enough to see the temporary exhibition (surrealism) on top of the two other free ones.

I went to see the Robert Capa exhibition, stunning! I felt immersed in his life, also with the ticket I was able to see the permanent exhibition of the museum, really interesting, about colonialism and trade in Asia and Africa, something you don’t see very often. Will come back for sure.

I came for the Frida exhibition and was not disappointed at all.

Get here as early as you can to avoid all the big ques. I got here at 11am, walked in and didn't wait for any ques and went straight into the exhibition.

The photos and art was plenty and there really was never before seen material. Such as letters, Fridas childhood photos and paintings that haven't been published before.

The exhibition finishes on the 3rd of June so do go if you're in Milan.

The paintings are even more spectacular in real life and brought me so close to tears.

Worth the visit. Small museum, and it's free. A lot of African artifacts an African culture

I went to the Van Gogh exhibition. Very nice! I recommend buying the tickets online in advance so you don't have to wait in line to go in.
