Pirelli Hangar Bicocca

2 Via Chiese, Milano, Lombardia

Description

Pirelli Hangar Bicocca is a reconverted Pirelli factory now used to house contemporary art exhibitions, including some permanent and temporary art installations. The industrial character has been preserved on the outside and so have the concrete floor and extremely high ceilings inside.

Access & Transport

Address: #2 Via Chiese The hangar is located in the Bicocca district, in the north of Milan, 7km from the city centre. It is accessible by metro and tram, 10mins walk from either 'Ponale" (5, T31) or 'Sesto Marelli' (1) Directions: https://pirellihangarbicocca.org/en/hours-and-to-reach-us/

Instructions & Recommendations

Online reservation guarantees priority access to the exhibition spaces within the selected time slot.

Meta review

The main highlight from online reviewers is the 'astonishing' and 'immense' indoor space. Opinions vary significantly depending on the nature of the exhibitions and personal tastes. From a practical standpoint, it seems that the hangars are not well indicated for those walking from the Sesto Marelli metro station. Generally not crowded.

Environmental & Social

No environnemental data available but thumbs up for the repurposing of the building.

Conclusion

A spectacular exhibition space - quite cliche in many ways for contemporary art; not a priority for most visitors to Milan but worth a look for art enthusiasts and anybody who has already hit the main cultural venues.
