"Site-Specific Art Located in a former rail services warehouse, Hangar Bicocca is a contemporary art space for site-specific projects funded by tire giant Pirelli. The space is more like a contemporary art concept that extends from the boards of its brick structure. The art gallery offers bicycle tours of the Bicocca area, as part of the "Bicocca Project," a neighborhood reclamation project intent on showcasing the former industrial zone as vibrant neighborhood and equally vibrant arts scene."

What an extraordinary exhibition space where art truly breathes! I visited during the Anselm Kiefer and Bruce Nauman exhibitions. I was moved by the breathtaking scale Kiefer’s monumental towers, inspired by ancient Jewish mysticism, themes of transcendence, ruin and the human quest for meaning. Nauman’s neon and video pieces provoked with linguistic play and psychological tension. The industrial setting amplified the impact — a must‑see for anyone seeking contemporary art at its most profound.

I expected much but expectations were surpassed by reality. Kudos to Pirelli and the people behind the project. Huge legacy industrial space, perfectly redone, arranged with expertise and love. And then comes the art: a truly mythological installation by Anselm Kiefer will place itself in your memories, plus a powerful set of Nan Goldin picture shows will touch your emotions. If you have time, take half a day off for the Hangar. In my eyes global top league art venue.

The permanent installation is magnificent and really special. We also enjoyed the rotation exhibition we saw when we visited. Definitely worth a visit especially since it's free.

This gallery was so impressive and amazing! It is so big, almost overwhelming. They have huge art installations and yet it still feels spacious and calm. By far one of the best and most beautiful galleries I ever got to visit!

This is an absolute must visit if you like contemporary art. The place is very big. The exhibition of Anselm Kiefer is impressive. Huge scale artworks. Pieces that are equivalent of 6 stories high. That immensely big the place is. The other exhibition halls are also huge. Displaying monumental works. The exhibitions are properly curated. And to think the entrance is completely free. Thank to whoever funds projects like this. Art should be accessible for everyone.

Free admission, but tickets must be booked online. Located next to the mall, this art exhibition is a hidden gem that's definitely worth a visit!!

By far the best place we visited in Milan. An enormous industrial space turned into a modern art gallery that can house large scale art installations. Interesting and thought-proviking pieces were on display. The building itself is also awesome, the inner units are cleverly organised and the staff is prepared and kind. There is a really nice "bistrot" in the building, which is also worth a visit. If anybody has any connection to modern art, this place is a must-see.
