Triennale Design Museum

On the 6th of December 2007, the museum dedicated to the history of design opens in Milan. “What is Italian design?” and “The relationship between art and design” are the first topics dealt with.In Milan, work on the new Triennale Design Museum is finished. It began in 2004 with the construction of the Planning Library, the Historical Archive, and the Documentation Centre, and continued with the renovation of the areas designated for the Museum.The restoration of the Palace and arranging and adapting the Museum are the architectural projects of Michele De Lucchi.The particularly innovative architectural element of the Triennial Design Museum is its entrance across a bridge which allows the Museum to be both within the Triennial and an independent entity at the same time.
