Swarovski crystals invade Brera. The Austrian brand's exhibition at Palazzo Citterio

Swarovski and Pinacoteca di Brera together for an exhibition. In fact, the Swarovski - Masters of light exhibition featuring the creations of the famous Austrian brand renowned for its crystals opens its doors in June in the rooms of the Palazzo Citterio in Milan, which is the extension of the Pinacoteca di Brera that will in the future house the modern branch of the Lombard museum. This exhibition celebrates the maison’s nearly 130-year history and is scheduled from June 17 to July 14, 2024. Swarovski - Masters of Light is curated by British journalist and fashion critic Alexander Fury and is the vision of creative director Giovanna Engelbert.

This is not a new exhibition, since the show debuted in Shanghai last fall. It will, however, be a foretaste of the opening of Palazzo Citterio, which after years of waiting, Brera sources let us know, will reopen to the public from December 2024, welcoming the modern art collections donated by the Jesi and Vitali families.

The Swarovski exhibition traces the history of the brand from Daniel Swarovski ’s birth in 19th-century Vienna to contemporary Milan and beyond. The exhibition setting will be divided into seven key themes to provide an overview of the brand’s continuous evolution and innovation.

Revisited after the China stop to celebrate the Italian fashion industry, the exhibition will feature more than 50 works by a number of Italian fashion houses, including Prada, Miu Miu, Fendi Couture, Gucci, Atelier Versace, with creations by Gianni and Donatella Versace, and Armani Privè by Giorgio Armani. In addition, visitors will see a selection of stage costumes and red carpet gowns worn by stars such as Harry Styles, Katy Perry and Beyoncé. There will be no shortage of jewelry, figurines and faceted crystals, including the largest crystal chaton ever created. One of the highlights of the exhibition will be Galaxy, the new high jewelry collection made with Swarovski Created Diamonds. To complete the exhibition experience, there will be a POP UP store with an assortment of Swarovski products and a Café in the palace gardens, with a culinary offering signed by celebrated chef Carlo Cracco. Waiting for Palazzo Citterio to open for the Grande Brera.
