7 Shows to See in Milan Right Now

Could ‘The Antwerp Six’ Thrive in Today’s Fashion Industry?

Milan's art scene is currently anchored by a series of high-profile exhibitions coinciding with the Miart fair, ranging from Cao Fei’s exploration of global agriculture to Anselm Kiefer’s monumental tributes to female alchemists. Key highlights include solo presentations by established figures like Liliana Moro and emerging voices, alongside thematic shows that bridge the gap between industrial history and contemporary digital aesthetics.

These exhibitions underscore Milan's growing importance as a critical hub for the international art market and institutional discourse. By balancing blue-chip heavyweights like Kiefer with experimental installations, the city demonstrates its ability to integrate commercial momentum from art fairs with rigorous curatorial programming that addresses pressing global and historical themes.
