MUDEC – MUSEO DELLE CULTURE | COLLEZIONE PERMANENTE

The Mudec - Museo delle Culture di Milano (Museum of Cultures in Milan), created to house and present the civic ethnographic collections to the public, opened its doors in 2015. After five years, the need emerged for a reflection on the role and responsibilities of ethnographic museums in the contemporary debate.
It was decided to reorganise the permanent exhibition based on an analysis of the effects - for Milan and seen from Milan - of the advent of an interconnected world, starting from the beginning of the modern age.

The visitor is accompanied in this flow through a selection of objects, many of them recently restored, from the collections of the MUDEC and other institutions, and will become familiar with complex concepts such as globalisation, imperialism, mercantilism.
In addition, through the collaboration of academics, experts, activists, cultural mediators, artists, bloggers and through the organisation of workshops with people with a relevant transnational biography, particularly critical issues were addressed.
