Promoted by the Municipality of Milan’s Department for Culture, the first edition of Museocity will take place from March 3rd to 5th – a broad event that will involve more than 70 facilities among art museums, museum-houses, artist ateliers, and corporate museums, and transform Milan into one big museum with extraordinary opening hours, exhibitions, workshops for children and special events, all connected in a network by one single program.
“For three days, Milan will be transformed into one great, unusual Museum and open its doors up wide towards the city, offering the people of Milan and all visitors the beauty and wealth of its artistic and historical collections – says Councillor for Culture Filippo Del Corno. A cultural proposal that was made possible by the city’s outstanding ability to connect all its museum facilities in one broad network. This new museum itinerary, apart from offering more detailed and in-depth knowledge of Milan’s artistic and cultural heritage, also reveals new and yet unseen aspects about some of its treasures”.
Also the Museo storico Alfa Romeo is taking part in the initiative, with an event entitled “Cross & Biscione”, that is, the symbols of the city of Milan – the Municipality and the Visconti family – which have been present in the corporate brand since its birth to underline the strong bond between Alfa Romeo and the city that saw it come to life, in the distant year 1910.
During the weekend there will be free guided tours:
- saturday 4th march at 11am, 3pm and 6pm
- sunday 5th march at 11am and 4pm
