ON TOUR WITH MUSEO CITY: ARCHIVES OPEN FOR THE FIRST TIME

The Fratelli Cozzi Museum is not in Legnano by chance.

It was founded here, in this city, out of love. Or rather, out of passion: a word that we like so much here at the Museum and that has led us, over the years, to donate cultural events and exhibitions to Legnano, such as the very recent one dedicated to the history of Velca Velca. exhibitions such as the very recent one dedicated to the history of the Velca.

It is precisely in the name of this love between the Museum and the city of Legnano that we will take part in the MuseoCity Tour, a three-day event to promote local tourism among places of design, artists' archives and business museums.

In addition, in collaboration with the City of Legnano, it will be possible to visit some of the city's main monuments on the morning of Saturday 23 October: the Basilica of San Magno, the Visconti Castle and Palazzo Malinverni, to name but a few.

The tour is in collaboration with Circuito Lombardo Musei Design, AITART Associazione Italiana Archivi d'Artista and Museimpresa .

In fact, we will not be the only ones. Although we are one of the few to belong to all three circuits (MuseoCity, Museimpresa, Musei Design) the prestigious organisations you will find in the next paragraph have also been invited to participate in the MuseoCity event.

For the occasion, the Museum will open the Cozzi.Lab archive to the public: it's the first time, you can't miss it!
