Triennale Milano is an international institution that brings together all forms of contemporary culture: design, architecture, visual arts, photography, cinema, new media, fashion and performing arts. It is a place where art and design, creativity and technology, tradition and innovation all interact.
It presents the works of major Italian and international architects, designers, and artists. It puts on exhibitions, meetings, conferences, and performances, and offers new points of view on some of the key issues at the heart of our society and public debate.
Triennale Milano is located in Milan's Palazzo dell'Arte, built in 1933 by the architect Giovanni Muzio, who designed it as a modular, flexible.
Triennale Milano has its own theatre, with an international, multidisciplinary calendar of events that is particularly focused on performing arts. Moreover, from 2019, Triennale presents the Museo del Design Italiano, with the aim of promoting part of the institution's permanent collection, which consists of 1,600 among the most iconic and representative items of Italian design.
Every three years, it also organizes the International Exhibition, one of the most important events devoted to design and architecture. The 24rd Triennale Milano International Exhibition will be held from May 13 to November 9, 2025.
