Museo del Novecento
Modern and contemporary art in Milan
The Museo del Novecento, directed by Marina Pugliese, opened at the Palazzo dell’Arengario, in the very centre of Milan, in the autumn of 2010.
An exhibition that relates the life of a famous Milanese collector: pictures, works of art and other objects she owned give a revealing account of a significant part of the 20th century in Milan, thanks also to outstanding work done by Daniel Libeskind in designing the exhibition.
Held at Milan’s Museo del Novecento from March to September 2013, this exhibition took a look behind the scenes of 20th-century art, shedding light on how and why artists invented new techniques such as collage, assemblage, and photomontage, or used new kinds of materials and media, including plastic and video.
