MuseoCity 2018: Second Edition of Milan's Museum Weekend Announced
The second edition of MuseoCity, Milan's celebration of museums, is set to take place from March 2 to 4, 2018, under the leadership of Gherarda Guastalla Lucchini and featuring 70 participating museums. This initiative was inspired by a 2013 discussion between Culture Councillor Filippo Del Corno and professor Paolo Biscottini. A study day on March 2 at Palazzo Reale will include speakers like Carolyn Christov-Bakargiev and Gabriella Belli. Notable activities include the 'Tram tram' project, evening tours of various venues, and complimentary entry to civic and state museums on March 4. The 'Museo Segreto' program will highlight 45 museums with private collections. Last year, the event drew over 60,000 visitors, with Domenico Piraina underscoring the importance of museums in everyday life.
