2025 marks the centenary of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, the event that marked the affirmation of the “1925 Style” or Art Deco. To celebrate the anniversary, the exhibition presents extraordinary examples of Italian and European decorative arts.
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.
Created to enhance the museum’s collections, the exhibition displays a collection of “exotic” artefacts brought from different parts of the world by Milanese citizens, enthusiasts, businessmen, travellers, researchers.
