"Site-Specific Art Located in a former rail services warehouse, Hangar Bicocca is a contemporary art space for site-specific projects funded by tire giant Pirelli. The space is more like a contemporary art concept that extends from the boards of its brick structure. The art gallery offers bicycle tours of the Bicocca area, as part of the "Bicocca Project," a neighborhood reclamation project intent on showcasing the former industrial zone as vibrant neighborhood and equally vibrant arts scene."

This is an absolute must visit if you like contemporary art. The place is very big. The exhibition of Anselm Kiefer is impressive. Huge scale artworks. Pieces that are equivalent of 6 stories high. That immensely big the place is. The other exhibition halls are also huge. Displaying monumental works. The exhibitions are properly curated. And to think the entrance is completely free. Thank to whoever funds projects like this. Art should be accessible for everyone.

This gallery was so impressive and amazing! It is so big, almost overwhelming. They have huge art installations and yet it still feels spacious and calm. By far one of the best and most beautiful galleries I ever got to visit!

This place is magical, I love it and one of the best place in Milan, even the exhibitions there are so fine and well selected ! Add to the fact that it’s free! The bar instead is a bit slow.

We got a guided tour that told us all about the exhibitions while walking around. A must see in Milan! The sheer size of the place and the immersion into the art and the artist psyche was a once in a lifetime experience

I really liked this place. We saw 2 temporary exhibitions and 1 permanent exhibition. The temporary ones were : an exhibition of a Vietnamese artist Thao Nguyen Phan, Reincarnations of Shadows. Second one - an exhibition of a an American conceptual artist James Lee Byars. The most interesting for me was a permanent exhibition - Anselm Kiefer. For me his pieces talk themselves and they make the spectator think. I think that means that it's the real art.

Really big site for huge installation from different artists, and it is free admission. There is a lovely cafe on the right hand side of the entrance. It offers a lot of seats (both indoor & outdoor) Audience could grab coffee, tasty toast or salad after the tour.
