It was founded in 1993 by the fashion house Prada and is housed in a complex of buildings designed by the architect Rem Koolhaas. The foundation hosts a variety of exhibitions, events, and educational programs, and is dedicated to promoting contemporary art and culture.

The Fondazione Prada is a must-visit for anyone interested in contemporary art.

Here are some tips for visiting the Fondazione Prada:

Buy your tickets in advance, especially if you are visiting during peak season. We visited in August when Milan was completely empty 🏜️ so we bought the tickets on the spot.

Allow enough time to explore the complex. There is a lot to see and do, so you don't want to feel rushed.

Wear comfortable shoes. You will be doing a lot of walking and climbing stairs (there is an elevator 🛗 in one of the buildings for disabled, elderly or pregnant visitors only. The main building has an elevator for everyone).

Bring a camera. You will want to capture all the amazing things you see. Some expositions you are not allowed to take photos of 📸, but in the other buildings there will be plenty for you to capture.

Be prepared to be inspired. The Fondazione Prada is a truly special place.
