SALe Legnano, Municipal museum in Legnano, Italy.
SALe Legnano was the name of the city's exhibition spaces, active from 2000 in Palazzo Leone da Perego and from 2007 also in the Castello visconteo. The rooms hosted temporary art exhibitions rather than a permanent collection, with monographic shows on Lucio Fontana, Auguste Rodin, James Ensor and Roberto Matta, plus photography and print sections.
S.A.Le. was founded in 2000 as Legnano's municipal exhibition spaces, based at Palazzo Leone da Perego. From 2003 the critic Flavio Arensi curated the programme with the Assessorato alla Cultura, focusing on unusual masters and themes. In 2007 the Pinacoteca del Castello opened at the Castello visconteo, adding the Spazio Dovevaccadere for young artists. The activity ended in 2012 and was absorbed into the city's culture portal.
The name S.A.Le. stands for the city's exhibition spaces, active in Palazzo Leone da Perego from 2000 and in the Castello visconteo from 2007. From 2009 young critics grouped as the Officina del SALe helped organise and research the shows. The programme favoured unusual themes and masters, with humanity at the centre of the debate, following scholars such as Giovanni Testori and Luigi Carluccio.
SALe's exhibition activity ran from 2000 to 2012, so the spaces are no longer a single museum entity; the two venues are Palazzo Leone da Perego and the Castello visconteo, the latter hosting exhibitions from 2007. The castle's Pinacoteca included Spazio Dovevaccadere, a room reserved for young artists. Check the city's culture portal for what is currently on view.

From 2009 young critics were brought in under the name Officina del SALe to organise and research the shows, and the whole programme was absorbed into the city's culture portal in 2012.
