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.🫶🏼
Museo del Novecento

The second museum that I managed to visit in one day in Milan was the Museo del Novecento.

Italian masters and other contemporary art giants gathered in this beautifully designed building under one roof.

The museum, located on Piazza Duomo with a magnificent view of the cathedral towers, houses one of the most important collections of Italian art of the 20th century.

The exhibition features works by Boccioni, Carrà, Balla, Russolo, Severini, Picasso, Kandinskogo and many other famous European artists of the 20th century.

The museum is worthy of special attention, there are a lot of works on display, about 400, and I want to study as much as possible.💙
