Fondazione Prada
A contemporary art center converted from an old brewery by OMA, famous for the gold-clad 'Haunted House' and a café designed by Wes Anderson.
Fondazione Prada is located at Largo Isarco in southern Milan. OMA, the firm of Rem Koolhaas, transformed an early 20th-century brewery into a contemporary art campus. The Haunted House, its exterior covered in 24-karat gold leaf, is the signature piece. The 60-meter white tower, the Torre, displays the permanent collection and has a panoramic restaurant. The Bar Luce inside was designed by director Wes Anderson, and its retro color scheme makes it very photogenic. Tickets cost about €15, and the foundation is closed on Tuesdays. Take metro M3 to Lodi T.I.B.B. station and walk about 8 minutes.
Opening hours
Mon and Wed–Sun 10:00–19:00 (extended on weekends); closed Tuesdays
