It is worth visiting because of the art in the museum. The museum itself is not functional, the lighting is not designed to present the art at its best (artificial light reflects on the glass so you have to move to a side to enjoy some of the art with glass in the front) and it has a weird flow that requires staff to guide visitors in and out. It is very small, so good size if you want to get in and out, especially if you have young ones with you that may not enjoy museums as much.

The wall color is different in each room and the scale of the art is unlike anything I have ever seen in either the Uffizi, Prado, the Louve or the Met. Paintings the size of Times Square billboards cover walls of intense blues, teals and magenta. We had the good fortune of seeing a spectacular exhibit featuring the work of Giorgio Armani whose elaborate creations were on display in almost every room. The building itself was a marvel. Timed tickets are a must.

Seriously, there are 1800s naval ships, a space ship, a playstion, a basement dedicated to steel making, a wing on cultivating food, a piece of the moon, a jet fighter, a room dedicated to the entire Italian gas transmission pipeline network, a floor for da Vinci tech, a particle physics wing, a population growth wing, a global warming wing, an aluminum production wing, the telephone and telegraph, etc etc many more etc. The must have forgotten to add cars because it's the only tech missed. I think it's fair to say there is too much covered in this museum because every room/wing/floor is something TOTALLY different than the last one. I appreciate the thoroughness, but you can't focus attention on 19,000 different pieces that don't relate and expect guests to constantly shift focus. They need to at least try to transition exhibit sections and not throw you into a brand new education. You could spend a entire day here, or weeks reading and watching and playing everything. There are a couple of fun art installation pieces but it's otherwise just too much varying info. At least you get to see a ton for the price. Exhibits are in English and Italian.

The museum offers free lockers for storing your stuff and they permit photography though no selfie sticks, tripods or flash. Standard museum stuff. They also have a free wifi that worked quite well. Culptures, paintings, artworks and more. Major focus on Italian works, which is understandable. I specifically enjoyed the works I've uploaded. Emilio Longoni (1859-1932) "Glacier" (1912), Guglielmo Giardi (1842-1917) "Laguna" (1891) and Pablo Picasso (1892-1973) "Tete de Femme" (1957). But there was so much more including sculptures by Rodin and the Parnassus (on the ceiling) and the walls in the Ballroom. Corot, Cezanne, Marquet, Gauguin, Van Gogh. Too many to list. Make the time to visit this museum. Totally worth it and in addition to touring the Duomo, one of the MUST DO in Milan. I only wish that the gift shop in the museum offered some of these prints, but they do not. [Review 10721 overall, 489 of 2019.]

The layout is interesting with a linear entryway that gets broken up by stairs on one side that leads you up to the free exhibits. There were furniture designs and modern art pieces displayed here. The most interesting parts during my visit were the "free" playground pieces outside by Naoto Fukasawa. My friends kid loved playing on these and nice to see such humble objects displayed right outside the museum. Upstairs they had a special section dedicated to Emeco, an American furniture maker, which was interesting to find in Italy. They are most known for the all aluminum "naval chair" in continuous production since 1940s. It's pure utilitarian and interesting to see it respected as museum-worthy.

What is fun and unique about this exhibit is that you can try almost all the chairs! Some are more comfortable than others and they aren't always the ones that you expect. They offer a special program/game for kids who are going through the exhibit to help make it more entertaining. They also almost always have an exhibition or two that is free for you to explore as well. In addition to the bookstore, there is a design library downstairs and a section for workshops/study near the entrance. I've enjoyed the cafe here more than once and although I've not attended, they also offer an apertivo in the evening. Once you are done, it's great to stroll through Parco Sempione.
