The museum opened in 2010 in the Arengario, the building beside the cathedral. The route is by theme and decade: Futurism first, then the interwar years, then the Spatialism of the 1950s and the experiments that followed. A room is dedicated to Lucio Fontana, and the Fourth Estate by Pellizza da Volpedo hangs here.
What to look for
- The Futurist rooms of Boccioni and his circle
- Pellizza da Volpedo's The Fourth Estate
- The Lucio Fontana room
- The windows over the Duomo
