Essentials about La Triennale di Milano in brief

In Parco Sempione the Palazzo dell’Arte (Palace of Art) is located, where the so-called Triennale di Milano has been held every three years since 1933. The Triennale is one of the world’s most famous international exhibitions of art and design. If you are not in Milan at the right time, however, you can still see many iconic objects from the history of Italian design at the Triennale Design Museum, which is also housed in the Palace of Art.

The history of  La Triennale di Milano

Historically, the Triennale goes back to the textile entrepreneur Antonio Bernocchi, who decreed in his will to dedicate his fortune to the interaction between industry and art. Thanks to this legacy, the Palazzo dell’Arte was built from 1931 to 1933 by the architect Giovanni Muzio. Not least because of the Bernocchi Foundation, Italy is still one of the world’s leading countries in the field of industrial design.

Other activities in Palazzo dell’Arte

If you visit Milan in a year when there is no Triennale, you have the opportunity to visit the Triennale Design Museum, also located in Palazzo dell’Arte. Founded in 2007, the museum showcases the many facets of Italian industrial and fashion design in changing exhibitions. In addition, the Palazzo dell’Arte also houses a café-restaurant, a bookstore, a theater and a garden full of interesting sculptures and art installations.
