Museums & Culture

Two millennia of history left clear traces in Milan, often collected and preserved in museums and places of culture. There are more than 100 museums in and around Milan and just as many exhibition venues, art galleries and foundations. In short, Milan is a city that is growing without losing sight of its history.
