My friend married a city, take 2: the day full of culture, a.k.a. it's pissing down!

What to do when you end up in Milan and it's raining the whole day? Visit museums! Milan has plenty of them!
Number one, my absolutely favourite, Triennale di Milano: Triennale Design Museum. It focuses on contemporal Italian art. I haven't enjoyed a museum that much for a very, very long time. I'm actually kind of glad the weather wasn't so good, other way I'm not sure we would have went there. The Design Museum is not for everybody. It is a variation of modern art. And I am not a fan of typical modern art 'this-is-a-dot-on-canvas-ooooh-my-god', however, The Design Museum has something really appealing. Those compositions, geometrical constructions, colors, all that put together for a striking visual effect...

And the indicent number of chairs they have! Definitely wird, but interesting, inspiring and innovative architectural solutions. I know how terrible it sounds, but if only there were no cameras; I was dreaming about sitting on them all! I mean imagine, how does it feel, sitting on a chair made entirely from pipe pieces, or on the numer three, the kind of net one.

What else can you find there? Basically everything. Starting with furniture, through sculpture, paintings, posters, objects that don't fall under any of these cathegories, ending with a 'rokini' (bikini from rope).

Number two on Milan art lover bucket list: Museo del Novocento. If you face Cathedrale Duomo, you find the museum on your right sight. The building has an interesting construction, snail-like, it goes round and up.

Unfortunatelly, taking pictures inside is not allowed, but I managed to remember some most remarkable pieces. It is worth seeing 'Quarto Stato'. The painting definitely looks better live, than on the images from the Internet. 

Another discovery for me was Umberto Boccioni, I don't remember exact names of the pieces I liked, but the museum has quite a collection of his works. They also have something by Picasso and Kandinsky. In general the museum focuses on cubism and futurist, so I don't think it's a place for a 'classical' art lover. 

I was visiting all the museum with my friend, she told me at the last floor there was a surprize. I was looking forward to it, thinking that must have been Dali my lover. Well I must say that was a surprize. On the last floor you can find the can with Piero Manzoni's shit. I've heard some crazy stories about it, but I didn't know Milan owned one of the very unique 90 shit-cans. By the way according to google, each of them costs about 125,000 euros. 

Splendind.
