MuseoCity Returns to Milan for Third Edition with Expanded Programming
Milan will host the third edition of MuseoCity, which was initiated in 2016 by Associazione MuseoCity under the leadership of Maria Grazia Mazzocchi. Approximately 80 institutions, such as Pinacoteca di Brera and Museo Poldi Pezzoli, are involved. A notable exhibition titled "Le nature morte di Geo Poletti. Una collezione milanese," overseen by curators Paolo Biscottini and Annalisa Zanni, is scheduled at Palazzo Reale from March 1 to 24, in line with the "Natura" theme. At Salone del Mobile, ten museums, including Museo Archeologico and Castello Sforzesco, will showcase "Muse Dialoganti. Sedute da Museo." Additionally, the association intends to organize outdoor art projections in Cinisello Balsamo and theatrical performances in the fall. Starting in 2021, the Urban Festival will extend to other cities, with Parma likely being the first.
