I do enjoy modern art and this was quite interesting. one permanent installation and 2 temporary ones. It is free and there is free parking outside so even if art isnt your thing on a wet day this could be worth a visit.

Finally an organised, cultural and free exhibition space. Pirelli has done something important for the public and the city of Milan. Two extremely interesting, I would say poetic, temporary exhibitions. The 7 Celestial Palaces (permanent exhibition) have a great visual and emotional impact. It's certainly not the fault of the museum spaces, but the car park was an open-air landfill, a disgrace for a European city like Milan. It is urgent to intervene.

Exhibition particularly rich in new and unusual materials, creativity to the nth degree.
Animals and nature are my favorite subjects.
The artistic activities with the children to explain the works on display to them are wonderful.

Really amazing new art exhibition was really fun and amazing. I didn't imagine what all can be the art, you should see this if you arein near, the hangar is big and you can easily be here for 2 hours. They offer free refreshments.

I don't miss an exhibition in this splendid location.
Slightly pedantic staff (can't I place a camera on a step to change the lens?). To another: don't come closer! (He was 1m from the work.)
But apart from these little things, the place is perfect: outside the center, so no parking problems (adjacent) or traffic restrictions, internal restaurant or many others within 5 minutes, extensive book shop. Free entry! Rich book shop.

It is really worth making the effort to visit the Pirelli Hangar. The location and the surroundings themselves are worth visiting. Exhibition with different 'light rooms' was something we had never seen before. Each room, which are actually containers within the hangar, has a different mood created by light (by Lucio Fontana). In the next big hall, there are the container towers designed by Anselm Kiefer - somehow scary but all the more impressive.

If you are a fan of Anselm Kiefer and contemporary art more broadly, and you are going to Milan, do try to visit the HangarBicocca. I saw two shows there, the permanent, breathtaking installation of Kiefer's 'The Seven Heavenly Palaces' and a fascinating re-installation of the work of Lucio Fontana, both made possible by the massive exhibition spaces in what literally is a Hangar. It is not that convenient to get to and during the week, at least, parking was a pain. (My top parking tip after spending a lot of time driving around trying to find a legal parking spot is to head straight for the nearby shopping centre multi-story car park). However, the art more than repays the effort, entry is free and the cafe is a beautiful and restful place to recover from any travel traumas!

It’s hard to describe how ambitious and remarkable this exhibition space is. The Anselm Kiefer installation is awe-inspiring.
The restaurant is really good, and on Sunday there is a brunch buffet that’s enormous.

We were thrilled to discover this great art space. Unusually for something in Europe, it was free entry. Worth paying for though! The permanent Anslem Kiefer installation is quite extraordinary. The industrial building spaces are great areas to show off the art and add a lot of character. We are at the bistro; food was good and well priced. There was a room for the kids at they entry where they could do some drawings, roll around on some mats or read books (Italian and some English). All the staff were helpful and friendly. Public transport in Milan is easy and cheap. We had no trouble travelling here with 2 small children (2 and 4yo). Great way to spend a day!

Great discovery of this Contemporary Art Foundation sponsorided by the famous industrial family Pirelli, italian leader for car tires.
A huge industrial hangar trasformed in a deep art experience. Hosting an oustanding Anselm Kiefer piece of art, The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015 that is alone worth the visit. Temporary exhibits on, an amazing Lucio Fontana is on now! And on the top of it no entrance fee: Thank you Pirelli, you rock!

La visita all'Hangar Bicocca è gratis. C'è la possibilità di fare la visita guidata del complesso e anche visita guidata alle mostre temporanee e questo è a pagamento. Costa €6 adulti e gratis per i bambini. Controlli sul sito dove si può prenotare. Ho appena fatto la visita guidata alla mostra di Lucio Fontana e è stata splendida ! L'arte contemporanea non è facile capire, perciò secondo me essere accompagnati da uno esperto va sempre bene.

buona sera, volevo sapere se è presente l'aria condizionata. so che potrebbe sembrare una domanda insulsa ma devo venire per un concerto con i miei figli e non vorrei facesse troppo caldo. qualcuno mi sa rispondere? mille grazie
Written May 31, 2017
Posso dirle che lo scorso luglio, in occasione di una mostra, siamo usciti davvero accaldati: mancava l'aria e certamente non c'era aria condizionata. Non so se nel frattempo abbiano provveduto, delle esposizioni di questo inverno non ho ricordi particolari in tal senso.

ciao, volevo sapere quanto tempo ci vuole per visitarla senza fretta, grazie
Written June 29, 2016
Per le mostre di solito ci vogliono 1 o 2 ore, c'è anche un bel bar ristorante dove volendo ci si può fermare. In tutto puoi stare 3 o 4 ore.
ciao!
