Fondazione Prada Milano

Discover the Permanent Exhibitions at Fondazione Prada, Milan
If you are visiting Milan and looking for a world-class contemporary art experience, Fondazione Prada is an absolute must-see. Located in a repurposed 1910s distillery redesigned by architect Rem Koolhaas (OMA), this cultural complex perfectly fuses industrial heritage with bold modern art.

While Fondazione Prada frequently hosts temporary projects, its permanent exhibitions and site-specific installationsform the backbone of the visitor experience.
Here is a quick guide to what you can explore in the permanent collection.

Key Highlights of Fondazione Prada’s Permanent Collection

1. Atlas (Torre)
   Fondazione Prada
   Housed inside the iconic 60-meter-high Torre, Atlas features a selection of artworks from the Prada Collection. Unfolding across multiple floors, this project maps how art has evolved through dialogue between modern masters and contemporary visual artists. What to expect: Dynamic visual displays, large-scale sculptures, immersive installations, and panoramic views of the Milan skyline.

2. Haunted House
   Located in the center of the complex, the Haunted House is a 4-story building entirely coated in 24-karat gold leaf.Inside, it holds permanent installations created specifically for the space.

Key Artists: Permanent installations by Robert Gober and works by Louise Bourgeois. 
Note: Access to the Haunted House may require timed-entry reservation upon arrival due to limited capacity.

3. Bar Luce (Designed by Wes Anderson)
   While technically a café, Bar Luce is considered a living permanent artwork. Designed by film director Wes Anderson, it recreates the atmosphere of a classic 1950s Milanese café with pastel shades, formica furniture, and retro pinball machines. It’s the ultimate spot to start or end your gallery tour!
