MUDEC – Museo delle Culture was founded in 2015 in Milan, in the new headquarters of the former Ansaldo, built based on a project by David Chipperfield in the design district of via Tortona.
MUDEC preserves and exhibits the ethno-anthropological heritage of the Milan City Council collections, organises international shows and exhibitions interpreted through different artistic languages, and proposes a programme of events and initiatives in dialogue with the territory.
Starting from 2022, MUDEC launched a new strategic program linking civic heritage and contemporary art practices thanks to the dialogue with contemporary artists such as Norma Jean, Cory Arcangel, Mariana Castillo Deball, Theo Eshetu, Monia Ben Hamouda, Adrian Paci.
The museum is a centre dedicated to the interdisciplinary study of world cultures. Based on ethnographic collections and in collaboration with diasporic and international communities, it acts as a space for reflection on contemporary issues through visual, performing and sound arts, design and costume.
