Padiglione D’Arte Contemporanea (PAC)

Category

Exhibition Space, Modern & Contemporary Art

The Padiglione d’Arte Contemporanea (Pavilion of Contemporary Art or PAC) was established by the City of Milan just after the Second World War to provide an exhibition space for contemporary art. It houses exhibitions on a regular basis, giving an overview of what is happening in the forefront of modern art in all its forms.

The building of the PAC is located next to Galleria d’Arte Moderna, but contrasts with it due its modern appearance designed by architect Ignazio Gardella. The exhibition space is open and light and provides a calm backdrop to the works on display.
