Museum of Contemporary Art "Remo Brindisi"

The museum is dedicated to painting, sculpture, graphic art, and architecture. There is no need to be a fan of contemporary art to appreciate it. The imposing building, unique in Italy, is inspired to the Bauhaus movement and was built in 1971-1973 on a project by architect and designer Nanda Virgo. Brindisi collected a great number of prestigious works ranging through a whole century of international contemporary art, with an emphasis on the Milanese art of 1950s-1970s. Among the most significant masterpieces are those by Picasso, Dalì, Modigliani, De Chirico, Fontana, Morandi, Chagall, Guttuso, Giò Pomodoro, Emilio Isgrò and Brindisi himself. Moreover: Spatialism and Nuclear Movement (Fontana, Crippa, Dova, Tancredi, Baj); Cinetic Art (Manzoni, Bonalumi, Schegghi, Nicolotti, Alviani, Colombo, Boriani); Pop and Nouveau Réalisme (Arman, Cèsar, Rotella, Hains, Schifano, Warhol); Abstract and Informal art, the CoBrA Group, and many designers as Nanda Vigo, Bruno Munari, Achille Castiglioni, Pio Manzù, Vico Magistretti, Giò Colombo.
