Goodnight Morning Ilaria Vinci

Goodnight Morning Ilaria Vinci

October 29 at 11am +18

Istituto Svizzero, Milano · Milano • Free

Fairy tales get weird in the best way. Ilaria Vinci carves an entire dreamscape from a single walnut trunk: wishing wells in shipping crates, felled enchanted forests, newspapers gone feral. Free entry.

Sheila Hicks. In the thread of love

Every day at 10am from Nov. 17 to Feb. 14

PAC Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea · Milano

Sixty years of Sheila Hicks' fiber art finally lands in Italy. Over 200 works, from palm-sized weavings to room-filling cascades of color, turn thread into stories of identity, feminism, and craft.

Free entry to Museo del Duomo

November 29 at 10am +5

Museo del Duomo di Milano · Milano • Free

Skip the ticket line, not the story: Museo del Duomo opens its doors free on the last Sunday of each month. Inside, 26 rooms of original sculptures, stained glass, and tapestries trace six centuries of Milan's cathedral.

The Lovely Gears

The Lovely Gears

Nov. 13 & Nov. 14

Triennale di Milano · Milano

Step into a forest of wooden gears where bodies and space quietly converse. Chiara Bersani and Mendrisio architecture students turn Triennale into a nomadic encampment you can wander, pause, and get lost in.

Vedere l'Aria – Bruno Munari

Air becomes the sculptural medium as Munari’s 1969 ‘Far vedere l’aria’ is re‑examined. The exhibition blends kinetic works, original drawings and Ugo Mulas photographs to make the invisible visible.

Frequently asked questions

How are these decorative exhibitions in Milan chosen?

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.

Is everything here still happening?

Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.

How can Outgoing help me find something I’ll actually want to do?

Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.

Do I need an account to use Outgoing?

You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.

Is Outgoing free?

Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
