The museum spans approximately 29,000 square meters, including a piazza and rear park, and features three exhibition areas across as many floors for temporary shows and permanent collections. Current exhibitions include David Michalek's video installation 'Slow Dancing,' shows dedicated to Paul Signac and Antonio Calderara, and a dialogue between Ilya & Emilia Kabakov's works and historical avant-gardes from the Collezione Olgiati.
