To visit in Milan: the Museo del Novecento

The Museo del Novecento, located in Piazza Duomo with a view of the majestic spires of the cathedral, is a true treasure trove of Italian art from the 20th century, recounting a fascinating journey through over eighty years of creativity and innovation.

With a collection spanning from 1902 to the early 1980s, the Museo del Novecento exhibits around 400 works of art, including paintings, sculptures, installations, and environments, embracing artistic movements such as futurism, interwar art, abstractionism, spatialism, and Arte Povera. Among the featured artists are illustrious names like Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Modigliani, Jannis Kounellis, Alberto Burri, and Emilio Vedova.

Dedicated rooms are reserved for the great protagonists of Milanese art, including Boccioni, Carrà, Morandi, de Chirico, Arturo Martini, and Piero Manzoni. Particularly evocative is the Lucio Fontana Room, which offers a spectacular view of the Duomo and houses an imposing neon that illuminates the square, creating a unique setting to admire Milan from above and take unforgettable photos.

In addition to the permanent collection, the Museo del Novecento regularly presents temporary exhibitions dedicated to various artists and themes, always offering new perspectives and insights into contemporary art.

For those looking to take a break and enjoy a moment of relaxation, the Museo del Novecento also offers the opportunity to savor good food at the Giacomo Arengario restaurant bar, located in the part overlooking Piazza del Duomo.
