A new beginning. The Pinacoteca di Brera reopens its doors to the public, offering free admission to its halls until next autumn. The public is permitted to visit the Collection by making reservations online which will allow visitors to enjoy the Collection’s masterpieces in small groups, interacting with these works through an intimate dialogue set to last an hour-and-a-half. Thanks to online reservations, the visits are personalised. Each guest is asked to make reservations on the platform brerabooking.org, indicating their age and any children that may be accompanying them during their visit. On the basis of the information entered, they are assigned a link which details the support tools for each visit, such as the Brera Box, a sort of gift box with various offerings to suit the various types of visitors. Acting as curator of their own museum itinerary, visitors are guided in creating the instruments useful to their discovering the Collection. The itineraries are particularly new in the sense that they now exclude museum halls of smaller dimensions, in which safe distances between visitors cannot be maintained with any surety. The Pinacoteca has also rethought its programming for 2020 with a serious online dimension, while maintaining its rich calendar of events, starting with the year-long celebrations of Raphael in honour of the anniversary of his death, which will resume in September with a focus on the exhibitions of The Marriage of the Virgin from 1806 to 1977.
The exhibition recounts Leonora Carrington's lifelong relationship with Italy, from her discovery of Italian art in Florence to exploring her affiliation with Surrealism. The exhibition features not only her wonderful paintings but also photographs, books from her personal library and archive material.
A major retrospective dedicated to Man Ray. Thanks to an important core of original materials (vintage prints, negatives, collages, documents) and through a thematic path (self-portraits, muses, nudes, rayographs and solarizations, fashion), this exhibition proposes the rediscovery of a unique artist and a brilliant pioneer.
Galtrucco, the Fabrics that enchanted the Women of the Twentieth Century
The exhibition aims to revive the years of activity of the historic Milanese fabric shop, through a narrative path that begins in the 1920s, followed by dark historical events such as the Second World War, but also by the economic recovery of the 1960s up to the beginning of the new millennium.
The complex creative process that precedes the making of a film by exploring storyboards and other materials such as moodboards, drawings and sketches, scrapbooks and notebooks, annotated scripts and photographs. Over a thousand elements created between 1930 and 2024 by more than 50 authors including directors, directors of photography, artists.
