Mudec - Museo delle Culture
Mudec - Museo delle Culture stands in Milan’s Via Tortona, where a former Ansaldo factory now houses encounters with cultures worldwide. Its galleries bring together visual art, performance, sound, design, and costume. The permanent collection spans America, Africa, Asia, and Oceania through objects gathered across long histories. Some pieces date to 1500 BC, giving the displays a material link to the ancient world.
Established in 2015, the cultural centre grew from the conversion of Ansaldo’s industrial site. Its programme connects historical objects with contemporary questions about Milan’s relationships across the globe. Temporary exhibitions, workshops, and performances add changing forms of participation beside the permanent displays. A partnership between Milan City Council and 24 Ore Cultura supports this public cultural setting. Wheelchair access makes these collections available across the building.
