Founded in 1933, Triennale Milano was conceived to be the apex where art, industry, and politics converged. Some of the greatest minds of the time, including Ponti and Sironi, have been part of the institution. Now under Stefano Boeri’s governance, Triennale Milano challenges the traditional definition of what it is to be a cultural centre; instead of a staid institution that has no connection to modern society, Triennale Milano is a place of reflection and debate, connected with the contemporary culture in a dynamic way that offers new points of view on topics that lie at the very core of our global society.
Based in Palazzo dell’Arte, Triennale Milano presents a host of exhibitions, performances and installations throughout the year. It is the only Italian cultural institution with its own performing arts centre, Triennale Milano Teatro, which hosts prestigious international programmes. Every 3 years, Triennale Milano organizes its International Exhibition, one of the most important events in the arts and design calendar.
