THE BAGATTI VALSECCHI MUSEUM: A FAMILY AFFAIR

The Bagatti Valsecchi Museum. My favourite museums are house museums, because they preserve their intimate and welcoming aspect typical of a house, but they narrate stories and events of their inhabitants, as well.
The house museums are not only art collections, but also containers of tales, and I talked about my latest passion for one of these house museums in the post about the Bagatti Valsecchi Museum.

Until October 2^nd Milan will host an exhibition to celebrate the return home of one of its masterpieces, which we will admire together on September 9^th 2016.

THE VENICE ART BIENNALE 2017: the 57th International Art Exhibition

The Venice Art Biennale. The Venice Art Biennale is the most important international art exhibition in the world.
The first edition dates back to 1895, and since then, the Venice Art Biennale, every two years, has gathered in Venice the most important contemporary artists causing quarrels, scandals, protests, inspirations, and much more.

The greatest artists have exhibited their works of art at the Venice Art Biennale, including: Gustav Klimt, Henry Matisse, Modigliani (in 1922, two years after his death, a retrospective exhibition was arranged, which provoked several debates), De Chirico, Dalì, Kandinsky, Pollock, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, and Maurizio Cattelan, just to mention a few.
