Fondazione Prada, Art museum in Largo Isarco, Milan, Italy.
Description
Fondazione Prada is a contemporary art museum housed in a former distillery complex in Largo Isarco, Milan. The compound combines old industrial structures from the 1910s with three modern buildings made of glass, aluminum, and metallic finishes.
History
The foundation was created in 1993 and moved to the renovated distillery site in 2015. A Dutch architectural firm led the redesign, bringing together old and new elements in dialogue.
Culture
The name refers to the fashion brand that established the museum and connects creative exploration with thought-provoking presentations. Many visitors treat the complex as a meeting point and stroll through the courtyard between different pavilions.
Practical
Entry is through the main gate near the courtyard, and the site is wheelchair accessible throughout all exhibition spaces. Allow enough time to explore different areas at a comfortable pace and move between buildings.
Did you know?
A tower covered in gold-leaf panels reflects light and surroundings, creating a sharp contrast with the original brick buildings. This structure is often photographed from a distance before visitors enter the site.
