Our cultural heritage
A unique view of our institution's cultural heritage and historical memory, from design to art, architecture to theater, graphics to photography. From the first Biennale di Monza in 1923 to the laying of the foundation stone of the Palazzo dell'Arte in 1933 to the exploration of space and the unknown, a journey through more than 100 years of history.
