HANGAR BICOCCA
TOP GALLERIES & MUSEUMS TO VISIT
If you love art, design, and getting out of the city center, you’ll love Hangar Bicocca.
Housed in a converted industrial building in an up-and-coming area outside the city
center, Hangar Bicocca attracts artsy types with its cutting-edge exhibitions and
workshops. This place is famous for its site-specific installations (similar to those at
London’s Tate Modern) that over the years have included giant balloons and rooms set
at -30 °C.

TOP GALLERIES & MUSEUMS TO VISIT
In line with constant efforts on the part of the municipal authorities to preserve
the memory of the economic and social processes that have shaped the city’s identity,
the Milan City Council took steps in 1990 to buy the old Ansaldo industrial plant at
Porta Genova and use it for cultural services. The disused factories, authentic monuments
of industrial archaeology, have been converted into studios, workshops, and new
creative spaces.
