The Hesperides lived in a garden where they guarded a tree from which golden apples hung. Like the nymphs of mythology, the museum of Lissone also preserves the fruits of its activity, which, finally ripened, can be presented to the public. In addition to engaging in research, protection, and enhancement activities, in the last five years the MAC has been committed to updating and increasing its artistic heritage. In Lissone - renowned for being a town linked to craftsmanship and the furniture industry - there was in fact a lack of a design collection; one of the objectives embraced by the current municipal administration was to acquire a series of objects and projects that constitute the germinal nucleus of a collection destined to further grow. This second exhibition appointment demonstrates how the MAC has chosen to continue to grow and specialize, and to do so it has decided to implement those common goods that satisfy the cravings for knowledge, technique, and aesthetics. Among the authors who have enriched this newborn collection, we remember - among others - the names of Ettore Sottsass, Michele De Lucchi, Nanda Vigo, Peter Eisenman, Robert Venturi, Michael Graves, De Pas-D'Urbino-Lomazzi, Alessandro Guerriero, Peter Cook, Rafael Moneo, Leonardo Fiori, Piero Bottoni, Lorenzo Damiani, Ugo La Pietra, Attila Veress, Leonardo Sonnoli, Michele Chiossi, Michele Alberto Sereni, Battista Luraschi, Francesco Meda, Des Signes, Ilaria Innocenti, and Giorgio Laboratore. After safeguarding these new treasures, the MAC is pleased to make them accessible to the community of Lissone and to all museum visitors, to share with all of them the arts that accompany our existence and that will ferry us towards the future.
