Museo del Novecento

At the Museo del Novecento, the transformations of the 19th century unfold through an extraordinary collection of Italian sculpture and painting.

A highlight of the museum is the remarkable Jucker Collection, home to the world’s most significant group of Futurist works. Here, the explosive dynamism of Umberto Boccioni meets the darker, introspective visions of Mario Sironi. Italian-born and Paris-adopted artists such as Gino Severini and Amedeo Modigliani also emerged as key voices of the avant‑garde that blossomed during the Belle Époque.

As we move through the galleries, we’ll explore not only the artworks but also the lives of the artists who created them, shaped by the turbulent decades between the two world wars. The enigmatic metaphysical scenes of Giorgio de Chirico and the quiet, contemplative still lifes of Giorgio Morandi reveal both the anxieties and the refined sensibilities that defined this period — and they speak to Milan’s distinctive tradition of thoughtful, discerning art collecting.

The journey continues into the later decades of the century, where abstraction, experimentation, and new materials take center stage. Installations and mixed‑media works introduce us to the radical language of Arte Povera, exemplified by Alberto Burri, and to the spatial investigations of Lucio Fontana, whose slashed canvases opened entirely new dimensions in modern art.
