Milan Opens Design Museum
Milan has long been the world capital of design. Each year it hosts the Salone di Mobile, the product/furniture design show-to-end-all-shows. Now, Milan has its own museum devoted to the subject. The Triennale Design Museum opened December 6 on the premises of the Triennale di Milano event complex in Milan’s Parco Sempione. The Triennale di Milano is a cultural institute which focuses on architecture, urban planning, decorative art, design, arts and crafts, industrial production, fashion, and audiovisual communication. So, the new museum is a perfect fit.
The new museum is housed in a renovated space and a newly constructed addition. Italian architect, Michele De Lucchi, was in charge of the project.
