"There are a few must-visits beyond the fair circuit, including the Association of Industrial Design’s cathedral-like ADI Compasso d’Oro Design Museum. Newly opened inside a ca.-1930 depot for horse-drawn trams, its collections retrace the history of all things Made in Italy."

The ADI museum demonstrates the rich contribution of Italian designers to a plethora of products: Washing machine, cars, chairs, desks, dresses, carpet, bikes, mugs, typewriters, lamps and more.... no need to buy the entrance tickets. You can walk around the free areas and enjoy most of the museum

Fabulous museum - not enormous, with plenty to see and admire. Great lighting. Friendly staff. Cute (and popular) cafe inside with a good lunch menu.

If you love design, you should find the time to get there during your stay in Milan, evading from the luxury trip of the city centre and immersing yourself in the ideas which made great Made in Italy design.

Great place. As an industrial designer it felt like a small dream come true. Where there and was not disappointed at all. All the items were presented fantastically. I genuinely had a lot of fun going around through all these objects and reading about them. Even my girlfriend enjoyed and she usually cut very fast to the closest sitting area reading a book when she's bored. And it didn't happen she was moving around being all curious and adorable. Yes I was a bit industrial designer dushnila but I couldn't help it. I love it.

Lots to see going back to 1954 with exhibits arranged in chronological order (ish), if you have an interest in product design then this is for you. I'm told every item won an Italian design award.

A wonderful and informative museum demonstrating the history of design from the 1900's to the present day. Tons of impressive displays and informative signage. While outside of the city center, the museum is a must see to understand Italian design style and techniques. Every guest receives a complementary free design poster, a super nice touch!

For anyone interested in industrial design and a unique location this is very much recommended. Take the time to explore well known and less known objects the last decades. Moreover sit and relax at the café and look around you. Nice to escape the busy streets and focus on historical designs.
