Many exhibitions in Milan for 2024-2025. Presented today the exhibition program

What will be the exhibitions scheduled in the exhibition venues of the City of Milan between 2024 and 2025? The long exhibition program was presented today in the Lombard capital, and among the artists we will see as the protagonists of these long-awaited exhibitions are Picasso, Cézanne, Renoir, De Nittis, Ugo Mulas, Munch, Casorati, Pellizza da Volpedo, Niki de Saint Phalle, and many others, both Italian and international, from the twentieth-century and contemporary scene, including painting and sculpture, photography and performance.

As many as two exhibitions will be dedicated to Pablo Picasso: one at the Palazzo Reale (from Sept. 20, 2024 to Feb. 2, 2025), in collaboration with the Musée national Picasso-Paris, which will focus on his status as the “eternal foreigner” in France, and one at the MUDEC - Museum of Cultures in Milan (Feb. 22 to June 30, 2024), in collaboration with leading Spanish museums and Picasso’s heirs, which will aim to place his works in dialogue with the ’primal’ artistic sources that influenced him from the beginning of his career.

Opening the exhibition season at the Palazzo Reale, however, will be the exhibition that aims to be the first and most comprehensive monograph on Giuseppe De Nittis (February 24 to June 30, 2024), which will feature ninety paintings from national and international collections. And at the same venue, the exhibition dedicated to the photographer Brassaï (Feb. 23 to June 2, 2024), Hungarian by birth but Parisian by adoption, the author of iconic mmages that immediately identify the face of Paris.

Instead, for this spring, from March 19 to June 30, 2024, an exhibition is scheduled, again at the Royal Palace, that will compare two great artists of Impressionism, Cézanne and Renoir: for the occasion, fifty masterpieces ìrecover the lives of these two masters. From April 7 to July 31, 2024, the creations of the Dolce&Gabbana fashion house will be presented for the first time in an exhibition to celebrate the brand as a symbol of Italian style. This will be followed in May, from the 4th to the 16th, by the exhibition Ercole Pignatelli and Guernica: the artist will reinterpret Picasso’s masterpiece in a performative key, painting over the course of six days a canvas of the same size. The intervention aims to return, on the occasion of the seventieth anniversary of the exhibition of Guernica in the Sala delle Cariatidi, emotions and reflections that this work had aroused in the artist still 18 years old, filtered through the experience of his eighty-eight years. From September 2024 to January 2025, an extensive retrospective on Edvard Munch will be staged to mark eighty years since his death and forty years after his last exhibition in Milan: one hundred works including paintings, drawings and prints, all from the Munch Museet in Oslo, will be on display. From October 3, 2024 to January 26, 2025, Ugo Mulas ’s great contemporary photography will instead be the protagonist with an exhibition that aims to retrace all the stages of the photographer’s career, from his beginnings in the Milan Bar Jamaica to the Venice Art Biennale, to his experiences with design, fashion, and theater. And the art of Enrico Baj (from October 2024 to February 2025) on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of his birth

And finally, in 2025, there is a major retrospective dedicated to Chaïm Soutine (from September 2025 to January 2026), an artist who moved to Paris from Czarist Russia at the age of 20 and went on to become one of the most famous painters of the 20th century.

From September 2025 to January 2026, the exhibition Dali and Fashion will seek to explore the most intimate and intense aspects of the artist’s creative process, where fashion and art nurture an ever-evolving form of expression.
