The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum once again participates in the city’s event dedicated to museums (1-3 March 2019). This year’s theme? Flowers! The museum proposes three initiatives:
Saturday, March 2, 2019, 3 PM
Guided visit, “Art and botany at the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum”
Together with a guide, visitors will discover the plants and flowers hidden among the furnishings and objects of the collection. For those who have already been to the museum, and even for those who haven’t, it is a chance to enjoy the homey rooms while focusing on “green and flowery” aspects of the collections of the barons Fausto and Giuseppe.
The guided visit (in Italian) is free, included in the entrance fee (regular €10; reduced €7)
Space is limited; reservations are recommended
T. 02 7600 6132 o prenotazioni@museobagattivalsecchi.org
During the three days of the event
A stroll among flowers together with Orticola di Lombardia in six museums in Milan (link in Italian)
Orticola di Lombardia accompanies visitors (in Italian) in the discovery of secrets, curious things and botanical characteristics hidden in six Italian paintings and tapestries – and not only these – in six of the most well known Milanese museums. The visit, created by Orticola di Lombardia for MuseoCity, reveals mysteries, satisfies curiosity, and lets visitors see things from a new – and “green” – point-of-view.
To participate, just get the event’s postcard from the city’s official Info Point Milano in the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, or at the entrances of the six museums. For further information, use the QR app on your smart phone to activate the QR code link.
Participation is free-of-charge, except for museum entrance fees.
During the three days of the event
The Garden of Milanese Stories (link in Italian)
During MuseoCity, the people of Milanese Stories have been invited to choose a flower or a plant that could represent them. Daisies, fuchsia, roses, poppies, peonies, sunflowers and other plants flower in this imaginary garden, designed for the occasion by Julia Binfield, who has created a new golden thread that ties together the people and the places of the Fondazione Adolfo Pini project. In this way, a flowery Milan in which flowers and plants are intimately tied to the people and their houses, collections and studios comes to life. Visitors will be able to go to the sixteen places that are part of the circuit to discover the flower or plant that each protagonist of Milanese Stories has chosen as their symbol. At every stop on the circuit, there will be postcards designed by Julia Binfield, each one with a different natural element.
Participation is free-of-charge, except for museum entrance fees.
