The Italian museums attract foreign tourists sometimes even more of the beaches, landscapes and monuments that Italy can offer. Many are those prefer to visit a museum in the evening, in the silence and stillness of a night tour. We talked in the post Unmissable exhibitions in Milan this summer about the exhibition at Mudec, the Palazzo della Ragione and the Palazzo Reale, which they are open for two days a week in the evening. In Milan there are also other museums that prolong the opening hours after dinner and definitely worth a visit. This is now a routine for the Italian museums and offers the public an opportunity to discover new venues, following the standards of the most important places in the international culture.

Among the evening shows we point out that the Hangar Bicocca exhibition dedicated to the German artist Carsten Holler “Doubt”. The exhibition alternates historical works including “Upside-Down Goggles” to the more recent ones like “Two Flying Machines” or “Double Carousel”, a carousel for adults which causes feelings of euphoria and amazement.
An excellent opportunity to discover this artist who as a former scientist then tacked on art, becoming one of the most visionary artists and most quoted which has already exhibited works at the Hayward Gallery in London, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary, Vienna, at the Contemporary Art Center, New York, at the ICA in Boston. And if you have never been to Hangar it is highly recommended a visit to “The Seven Heavenly Palaces” by Anselm Kiefer. Work of extraordinary beauty and charm, has become the symbol of the Hangar Bicocca and is the permanent exhibition since 2004.
Seven of tall concrete towers between 14 and 18 meters in an area of 7000 square meters space dedicated entirely to the work by the artist German, which also you can see some of his paintings.
