HangarBicocca reopens, but only on weekends

Pirelli HangarBicocca welcomes visitors back after its forced closure due to a health emergency: visitors will be able to visit temporary exhibitions and admire permanent works every Saturday and Sunday, from 10:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The reopening includes compliance with certain safety measures, such as mandatory face mask and interpersonal distance of at least two meters. Entrances will be limited in quantity and frequency and separated by entrance and exit, but online reservations are not required. Within Trisha Baga ’s exhibition The Eye, the eye and the ear there shall be no more than 100 people at one time, while for Cerith Wyn Evans ’ exhibition The illuminating Gas and Anselm Kiefer ’s permanent installation(The Seven Heavenly Palaces 2004-2015) the maximum capacity will be 200 people.

It is recommended to download in-depth materials from pirellihangarbicocca.org; guided tours, mediation and educational workshops are suspended.

“The goal we set for ourselves,” said director Alessandro Bianchi, “was to reopen as soon as possible, and it was a bit of a leap of faith because there were a lot of provisions missing in the guidelines and to allow visitors to enjoy the building not only safely, but also comfortably, pleasantly and not too distorted by the habits of those who already frequented Hangar. We were among the first to reopen thanks to an architectural fortune of a large space, arranged on a couple of floors and thus functioning from the point of view of Covid-19 provisions, and also thanks to the municipality that facilitated us at a time that was not very easy.”
