Triennale di Milano

Was expecting more to be honest, the 15€ fee for the permanent collection was a bit too much; 25€ for the full pass on the temporary exhibitions was a bit exhorbitant. However the museum space was great, my highlight was actually the gift shop.

The Triennale Museum is an impressive building with a variety of exhibitions. However, each exhibition requires a separate ticket, costing €15 per entry, which may not be affordable for many visitors. The museum also strongly encourages membership, but this approach does not fully align with the fundamental role of a museum—serving as an accessible space for local communities to engage with art. A museum should act as a bridge, making art more approachable and inclusive. In this case, clearer information at the entrance would be helpful, as visitors may not realize the total cost of experiencing multiple exhibitions. For example, if there were an €11 all-day pass covering all exhibitions, it would be a more reasonable and attractive option. While the Triennale Museum has great potential, my experience suggests that other museums offer more extensive exhibits at a lower price. Improved accessibility and pricing transparency could make it a truly outstanding cultural destination. I understand why there are not many people even on the weekend. Over priced. I want the money back.

It was a walk down memory lane looking at all the designs from decades. It was an eye opener to find common household things which were of Italian designs. The different exhibits were very nicely presented. The museum was not crowded so it was very pleasant to visit.

La triennale is a beautiful space with harmonious lines and wide spaces! Came for the ellio fiorucci exhibit, very interesting but as a foreigner pov I feel like the exhibit though interesting information and input from friends, you don’t really understand the impact of the designer on Italian culture and international influence fashion. I was expecting more explanation or more input on the stretch jeans. As for the price, my initial thought was good. But after doing the exhibit. I feel like having a price for every exhibit is a bit poor. Though they have a price for all the exhibit I feel like a bit expensive? You can have a discount if you’re under 30

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit to this gallery - as someone who works within the arts industry as a curator I appreciated the ‘Forme Mobili’ exhibition. Interesting layout utilizing industrial scaffolding instead of plinths, and a sense of order to the somewhat maximalist arrangement of items. Deceivingly large exhibition that extends into quite a long space, so you do feel like you’re getting your moneys worth for the ticket price. The gallery shop is very nice however if you’re a non-Italian speaker the books will be just aesthetics for you! They do have some nice objects, knick knacks etc I didn’t view any other exhibitions as the ticket office workers were very blunt and rude to me when I enquired. I was brushed off and handed a pamphlet that didn’t really answer my queries regarding ticketing… But regardless, I’m glad I requested a ticket for ‘Forme Mobili’. Would visit this gallery again.

It’s a fun museum to visit. But disappointed in how expensive the ticket is! 15 euro for a really small exhibition that you could finish in 30min.

First of all, I must say that overall, it's a very enjoyable experience to explore the Triennale. With its vast space and numerous extensive exhibitions, I highly recommend allocating a considerable amount of time to fully explore everything. It would be most logical to spread your visit over multiple days. We appreciate the layout, operation, and curation of the exhibitions in general. However, some exhibitions are truly beyond absurdity. Unfortunately, it seems like they are trying to balance out the beautiful things you'll see with downright awful ones. I'm not sure if they're doing this to fill the Triennale or if their artistic perceptions encompass such a broad spectrum, but I believe they need to elevate their standards a bit.

A wonderful museum! Lots to see so be ready to spend few hours there. Their collections are incredible, some of the best examples of Italian design.

Great museum very interesting exhibits and very cool space. For those who love design this is a must

The main (paid) exhibition of the Triennale tells the story of modern design (pre-dominantely Italian). They have many interesting and famous pieces of furniture. What is fun and unique about this exhibit is that you can try almost all the chairs! Some are more comfortable than others and they aren't always the ones that you expect. They offer a special program/game for kids who are going through the exhibit to help make it more entertaining. They also almost always have an exhibition or two that is free for you to explore as well. In addition to the bookstore, there is a design library downstairs and a section for workshops/study near the entrance. I've enjoyed the cafe here more than once and although I've not attended, they also offer an apertivo in the evening. Once you are done, it's great to stroll through Parco Sempione.

It took me awhile to find this place and I had to ask several police officers who were actually in the area how to get there since it was already dark outside. However, some of them didn't speak much English so I had to start out first with, "Mi scusi, non parlo italiano" then switched to English asking where Triennele was. Fortunately, they were nice and asked the younger, more fluent officers to help me out. It's interesting to watch 2-3 men discuss the best way to give directions in Italian before switching over to English. I finally arrived at 7pm which is relatively late to be visiting an art gallery but it allowed me to look at the exhibits in peace. I was really excited to visit this museum since Milan is reknowned for innovative and cutting edge designs in industrial engineer and furniture. This place is definitely geared towards fans of modern art however, it wasn't too abstract. I always thought Italian designers had an eye for function as well and most of the products are readily available for purchase in certain furniture stores or stores dedicated to the culinary arts. Despite the size of the building, I was able to go through the whole exhibit in an hour. I'd definitely like to come back when I'm in Milan again.
