This museum, located in Piazza Duomo, vaunts a privileged view over the spires of the cathedral and houses one of the most important collections of twentieth-century Italian art. The works date from 1902 to the art of the early ‘80s.
The museum boasts 400 works of art in total - paintings, statues and installations - that span futurism, art between the two wars, abstractionism, spatialism and Poor Art. The collection ranges from Kandinsky and Klee to Modigliani, from Jannis Kounellis to Alberto Burri and Emilio Vedova, to mention just a few.
Rooms are dedicated to artists of great significance for Milano: Boccioni, Carrà, Morandi, de Chirico, Arturo Martini, and Piero Manzoni. The feather in the cap of this fascinating museum is the upper-floor Lucio Fontana gallery with a spectacular vista of the Duomo and the immense ceiling neon installation that illuminates the piazza. This is absolutely one of the best places to see Milano from above and photos can be taken against an exceptional backdrop.
In addition to the permanent collection, the Museo del Novecento also curates several inspirational temporary exhibitions throughout the year, dedicated to the most diverse artists and themes.
