Mudec
MUDEC – Museo delle Culture is one of Milan’s most innovative cultural spaces, created within the former Ansaldo industrial complex in the lively Porta Genova district. Designed by architect David Chipperfield, the museum blends contemporary architecture with a mission to explore global cultures through art, anthropology and design. Its permanent collection presents more than 7,000 works and objects from every continent, forming a rich ethnographic journey that highlights the connections between societies. MUDEC also hosts major temporary exhibitions, immersive installations and interdisciplinary projects that reflect Milan’s international identity. Visitors can explore visible storage areas, a dedicated auditorium and a striking central atrium that anchors the museum’s fluid layoutvisitmilano.org. With its mix of research, storytelling and bold visual language, MUDEC stands as a dynamic hub where cultures meet and new perspectives emerge.
