Depero Space to Space: The Creation of Memory until August 2 at the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum

The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum, in collaboration with the Mart – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto, presents the exhibition Depero Space to Space. 

The exhibition marks the return to Milan of Fortunato Depero after 35 years since the last retrospective that featured him and proposes an unprecedented path, allowing the permanent collection of the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum to interact with Depero’s creations. These become guests in a unique setup specially designed by the architecture studio A-Fact of Milan to enhance the spatial-temporal placement of artworks in a living context with a well-defined identity.

100 PHOTOGRAPHS TO INHERIT THE WORLD until June 28 at MUDEC Museum of Cultures

Photography represents a language that preserves the world, keeping memory, revealing transformations, returning wounds, rebirths, changes, hopes. It is fascination, knowledge, lies and truths together, a tool capable of telling what we have been, what we are, and what we can become. It is the language of contemporaneity and, at the same time, the visual memory of humanity.

From this awareness arises the photographic exhibition “100 Photographs to Inherit the World,” which is not simply an anthology of masterpieces, but a journey that invites reflection on the visual and cultural legacy that photography has transmitted to us.

KIEFER: THE ALCHEMISTS until September 27, 2026 at Palazzo Reale in Milan

At Palazzo Reale arrives the new site-specific work by Anselm Kiefer, one of the most influential contemporary artists internationally. This exhibition, specially conceived for the Hall of the Caryatids, will invite visitors to interact with works that reflect on history, painting, and feminine memory.

The Alchemists presents a cycle of over forty large canvases, specifically designed to dialogue with the dramatic beauty of the Hall of the Caryatids. After exceptionally hosting Picasso’s masterpiece Guernica in 1953, the Hall of the Caryatids has hosted over the years exhibitions and projects by exceptional artists.

METAPHYSICS / METAPHYSICALS at Palazzo Reale in Milan until June 21, 2026

A major exhibition and three “exhibition chapters” in three major Milanese museums, a multidisciplinary program of initiatives for the city: Metafisica/Metafisiche is the project curated by Vincenzo Trione, which puts the masters of Metaphysics in dialogue with international “heirs” and with the “students” of the 20th and 21st centuries.

At Palazzo Reale, approximately 400 works are presented, including paintings, sculptures, photographs, drawings, design objects, as well as models and architectural designs, illustrations, comics, magazines, videos, and vinyl records, with national and international loans from more than 150 institutions, both public and private, galleries, archives, and prestigious private collections.

BENNI BOSETTO REBECCA until July 9 at Pirelli HangarBicocca

From February 12 to July 9, 2026, Pirelli HangarBicocca presents BENNI BOSETTO REBECCA.

Benni Bosetto spans drawing, sculpture, installation, and performance to explore the representations of identity, which in her poetry manifest as fluid and often intertwined with other species and organisms. The artist’s practice is indeed centered on the perception, transformation, and deconstruction of the body.
