Mudec

Museo is known as Museo delle Culture is a cultural hub that feels more like a dialogue between worlds than a traditional museum. Opened in 2015 designed by architect David Chipperfield. Inside it celebrates the richness of golden culture through rotating exhibitions, rare artifacts, photography and interactive installation. It focuses on ethnographic pieces gathered from across the continents, while temporary exhibitions often dive into themes like migration, identity and cross-culture exchange. Beyond the galleries, Mudec gives a stylish bookshop, a cafe and even a Michelin-starred restaurant making it a place to linger.
