Mudec

I liked this museum especially the part on how African people have integrated in Milan. They could have a better storytelling or logic, as I felt we were jumping from one random thing to another. The architecture of the place is beautiful. The shop has some interesting stuff but quite pricey. We did not go to the exhibitions and just the general pass which is free

Not an interesting museum, they have free admission for the museum and then for exhibitions need to get paid tickets. The time that we visited there was not any interesting exhibitions to visit, so we only checked the general museum. Since it was free I can consider it as ok but we didn’t like it

Great modern art center. I enjoyed the current exhibition on Picasso, emphasizing the influence of African art on his art. The permanent exhibition is also very interesting, demonstrating the relationships between Milan and the world, in particular the Americas, Asia, and Africa, with a particular focus on Italy's African colonies and afrodescendants living in Milan.

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.

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.

I visited Mudec for the Robert Capa exhibition in a very limited time frame. Unfortunately, I couldn't explore the main building, but it looked very intriguing. I really enjoyed the temporary exhibition area and the display of the exhibition.

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.🫶🏼

Beautiful museum. We went there to see Van Gogh, Rodin, Deloittes photography winner and the standard exhibition. The layout of the museum is great and most of the visit was nice. We used the cafe as well. Van Gogh was really worth the entire visit. Rodin was boring.

This is a decent sized museum with a few separate buildings in the same campus. From the street you walk thru the gate running thru what looks to be an administrative building street-side. This opens up to a smallish courtyard area facing the main museum building with a minimalist front facade. To the right are a couple adjacent buildings with separate entrances to temporary exhibits. Walking into the main building there's a museum cafe immediately to the left of the entrance, which looked to be cafeteria style, with seating for about 50. Past this is a spacious lobby with ticket counters and help desk to the right. Tickets are free to the main collection but each special exhibit requires a different ticket. I found this a little confusing as there are 4-5 special exhibits ongoing which compose the majority of what there is to view, so having not done any research prior and not being familiar with these artists and their work, I just stuck with the main collection. There's not much to see here and I was a little put off by the staff bc they insisted I coat check my back pack before entering even the main collection though the museum was pretty empty and I literally saw them allow someone with a slightly smaller back pack in right in front of me. They are also sticklers for going in the order if the exhibit, goodness forbid if you want to back track a few rooms they tell you that's not the right way and that you should be going the other direction. It just didn't make the experience enjoyable.

My impression of this "salvage operation" of an industrial archeological site remains unchanged. It's very minimalistic. Way too much. Raw cement, glass and steel make up this uncomfortable concept, unpleasant to the eye and uncomfortable for the visitor. As you might have noticed, I changed my profile picture to one of Frida's self-portraits because I went to see her exhibition last Saturday. Almost all pictures and photos of this magnificent Artist were there. This made my day. Regretfully, the lack of benches or resting stops made it very uncomfortable for my 5 hernias. By the time I got out, I had to gulp down a couple of painkillers to keep going. Shalom (but not so much to the architects) :))
