“Focus on Milan”:
the Pirelli Foundation at MuseoCity 2024

MuseoCity is back: from 1 to 5 March 2024 the multi-venue event, which is promoted by the City of Milan, will be putting the spotlight on the museums and cultural venues of the city and its surroundings. The theme of the 2024 edition is “Mondi a Milano” (“Worlds in Milan”). The Pirelli Foundation is participating again, for the eighth year in a row, this time with two events on Friday 1 March 2024. One of the events is specially designed for children.

Focus on Milan: Pirelli and the City through the Eyes of Photographers

4.30 p.m. and 7 p.m. (two tours – lasts about 60 minutes)

This guided tour shows the city of Milan through photographs and historical and contemporary documents in the company archives. A whole range of different faces of the capital of Lombardy will be on display: Milan as a city on the move, in Pirelli magazine photo shoots showing the changing forms of mobility from the post-war period through to the present day; Milan as a city of work and innovation, in photos of its research and production centres, of  its universities and of the Pirelli Tower; Milan as a city of the arts, in the cultural activities of the Pirelli Foundation, in the Pirelli HangarBicocca contemporary art exhibition space and in a host of local institutions; Milan as a city of the “Made in Italy” label, of fashion shoots and international fairs and exhibitions.

Please book by filling in the form at this link. Booking is required for the event. Admission free while places last. Registration ends on Wednesday 28 February 2024.

A Flying Visit to Milan

Workshop for children aged 7 to 11

5.30 p.m. (lasts about 60 minutes)

A journey through the past and present of some of the most iconic places in Milan, as seen through the eyes of great photographers. We will follow them to the top of the Pirelli Tower as it soars up over Piazza Duca d’Aosta, and we’ll dive down to see the people digging the Milan metro. We’ll see them out in the traffic in Piazza del Duomo, at the Central Station, and among the works at La Triennale and at Pirelli HangarBicocca. We’ll set our imagination free and, with paper and crayons, we’ll colour one of their shots and bring it to life in a pop-up work with ourselves as the stars. In the meantime, accompanying adults will be able to visit the Pirelli Foundation and its exhibitions.

Please book by filling in the form at this link. Booking is required for the event and is subject to availability. Registration ends on Wednesday 28 February 2024.

 

Visitors’ entrance: Pirelli Foundation, Viale Sarca 220, Milan
