The Gate of knowledge

Milan plans for creativity.

Porta Nuova will play a pivotal role in the network of cultural landmarks of the city. Libraries, museums, bookshops, artisan’s ateliers and educational establishments will help foster the youthful energies that Milan has always attracted successfully.

Porta Nuova will host the Modam, destined to become an education complex devoted to creativity, a campus with exhibition halls, classrooms and labs; the House of Memory, a civic centre serving the neighbourhood; the Fondazione Riccardo Catella, studying and promoting the best practices in territorial development; the “Incubatore per l’Arte”, an experimental incubator housing the cultural and artistic initiatives that were born in the Isola neighbourhood.

The cultural frame will be completed by the exhibitions centre designed by Sir Nicolas Grimshaw, destined to become an extraordinary stage for the city.
