Triennale Di Milano, Italy

Set up in 1923, with the intention of being the overview of the decorative arts and modern industries, and to stimulate relations between industry, production sectors and applied arts.

The Triennale was soon found to be the mirror of artistic and architectural culture in Italy and one of the largest areas for viewing emerging trends. Its headquarters have been in the Palazzo dell’Arte in Parco Sempione since 1933. It has an overall surface area of 12,000 square meters. The exhibition space amounts to about 8000 square meters. In recent year, the Triennale has expanded its responsibilities to fashion and audiovisual communications. On the ground floor there is the “Galleria del Triennale” for temporary exhibitions – 1,500 square meters of exhibition space – designed by Gae Aulenti. There is also a permanent collection of Italian graphic, architectural and urban design.
