TRAVELOGUE

Travel is a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary theme. The exhibition highlights the genesis of MUDEC’s collections as a reflection of the city’s history: part of the heritage of Milan’s civic museums since their origins, these collections were formed as a selection of artifacts brought from different parts of the world by citizens, businessmen, travelers and researchers. The different sections are dedicated to a reflection on the themes of ceremonial, mythical and metaphorical travels.
The crucial theme of migration and diaspora, which has marked and continues to mark recent history, is addressed with significant contributions from contemporary artists, ‘directors’ who work with different nomadisms, including Yervant Gianikian and Angela Ricci Lucchi.
