Located right next to the famous Via Montenapoleone, this art gallery is a real treasure in the heart of Milan. When you need some rest from the enormous amount of people in the centre of Milan, PAC is always a great solution. Walking through paintings by Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec and contemporary works by various authors will certainly help you to unwind, while also keeping your mind intellectually engaged.

The Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea was created by the city of Milan shortly after the end of World War II as a home to modern art. After being almost completely destroyed by a bomb in 1993, the museum was then rebuilt in 1996 by Ignazio Gardella. 

The displays are open daily, showing the beauty of contemporary art.  There are also exhibitions on photography and design as well as private presentations focused on one artist.  This small architectural gem has something to offer for any art lover!
