Exhibition “Milan Upside Down: Metropolitan Landscapes” – “Università svelate”

On the day of “Università svelate” – Giornata Nazionale delle Università, March 20, 2025, we invite you to take part in a guided tour of the exhibition Milan Upside Down.

This event will be held in Italian.

The exhibition presents a Milan Upside Down seen and interpreted mainly through the documents preserved in the Historical Archives of the Politecnico di Milano, that testify the development of the city above and below street level. The exhibition unfolds as an itinerary that tells the story of a multifaceted city and displays successes and contradictions of an ever-evolving Milan, that exists not on a single flat landscape, but on multiple levels, all inextricably intertwined with one another.

The exhibition Milano Sottosopra. Panorami metropolitani / Milan Upside Down: Metropolitan Landscapes is composed of a series of panels that narrate the city through images of selected locations, and original materials held in the archives: drawings, photographs, journals and brochures, thematically connected to discover their uniqueness.

The exhibition is open for visits from 10 am to 1 pm and from 2 pm to 4.30 pm.

The guided tour will take place at 4.30 pm. We kindly ask you to sign up through the subscription form on this page.
