Spazio Oberdan, Contemporary art museum in Porta Venezia district, Milan, Italy.
Spazio Oberdan is a cultural venue in Piazza Oberdan in Milan, designed by architect Gae Aulenti. It holds a 700 m² exhibition floor on the first floor, arranged around a large central hall and linked to a balcony over the entrance, plus the ground-floor Sala Alda Merini, an auditorium of about 200 seats used for film screenings.
Spazio Oberdan was created and run by the culture department of the Province of Milan as a venue for visual art exhibitions and cinema, designed by architect Gae Aulenti. In 2018 the building passed from the Province to Fondazione Cariplo, which made it the Milan seat of MEET, the first international centre for digital culture in Italy.
The cinema hall is named after the Milanese poet Alda Merini and seats about 200 people. It is the main screening venue of the Fondazione Cineteca Italiana, which holds its regular programme there, while the Province of Milan uses the hall on other days for film series, book presentations and meetings with Milanese cultural organisations.
The location is easily accessible by public transportation, as Porta Venezia station is located nearby. The M1 metro line and several tram routes pass directly through this area, offering multiple entry options.
