After the spring FAI days and the opening of the 24th Triennale, Milan is preparing for a new event to discover (or rediscover) its rich architectural and cultural heritage.
On the weekend of 17 and 18 May, the 10th edition of the Open House Milano initiative, part of the Open House Worldwide circuit active in four continents and more than 50 cities (in Italy: Rome, Naples, Turin and Milan), is back to promote the spread of architectural culture. With 540 sites open in ten years, the Milan edition celebrates its first tenth anniversary with an extraordinary edition, ranging from the city centre to the suburbs, from professional studios to art galleries, from iconic works to more or less well-known and often inaccessible buildings.
Among the many locations, we have selected 10 that everyone – not just “connoisseurs” – should know about, for an exciting dive into the history of modern and contemporary architecture of the city.
