exhibition · 2026-07-07

MACA (Museo a Cielo Aperto Milano), a new 24/7 free open-air museum, has opened on Via Luigi Nono in Milan, extending the Tempio del Futuro Perduto cultural center. The inaugural exhibition, 'Rinascimento Elettronico' by Captain Cosmotic, blends Western painting history with contemporary club culture imagery. The museum transforms a long wall into an outdoor gallery, featuring works by international artists. MACA is part of the Tempio del Futuro Perduto's ongoing urban regeneration project, which repurposed a long-abandoned building into a hub for art, music, performance, education, and social initiatives. The open-air museum aims to make art an integral part of daily urban life, with free and unrestricted access.
