How Baby-Friendly is Pirelli Hangar Bicocca?

Reviews of Pirelli Hangar Bicocca

I was not expecting to be swooped off my feet by how good "This will not end well" exhibit is. Aside from that, space is gigantic and I just love how it makes art accessible to all. It also seemed to have quite an interesting area for kids.

Free entrance, nice contemporary art hall. There is a kids room as well

By far the best place we visited in Milan. An enormous industrial space turned into a modern art gallery that can house large scale art installations. Interesting and thought-proviking pieces were on display. The building itself is also awesome, the inner units are cleverly organised and the staff is prepared and kind. There is a really nice "bistrot" in the building, which is also worth a visit. ...

Free admission, but tickets must be booked online. Located next to the mall, this art exhibition is a hidden gem that's definitely worth a visit!!

This gallery was so impressive and amazing! It is so big, almost overwhelming. They have huge art installations and yet it still feels spacious and calm. By far one of the best and most beautiful galleries I ever got to visit!
