ADI Design Museum is the place dedicated to the collection of the Compasso d’Oro, a dynamic space focused not only on creativity and design culture but also on interaction with the city of Milan and the international scene. The museum is located at Piazza Compasso d’Oro 1, at the intersection of via Ceresio and piazzale Monumentale, and is part of the context of a former industrial area of ​​very high architectural and urban value, which has been the subject of a significant urban refitting action in recent years.

ADI Design Museum will be a narrative and experiential museum, an open container for exchange, speaking not only to industry professionals. The aim of ADI - Association for Industrial Design and its Foundation, thanks to whose activity and vision such an important place is inaugurated, was precisely to build an inclusive, non-celebratory reality, capable of offering the most engaging visitor experience possible but above all in progress, capturing the sense of modernity through the continuous updating of the pieces of the Compasso d’Oro Collection that takes place every two years.

The permanent Collection is, in fact, the backbone of a constantly evolving narrative system, to which temporary in-depth exhibitions and cross-cutting but always relevant initiatives related to the world of design will be added. A cultural center focused on contemporaneity and research, aiming to play an active role within the global museum and cultural network. A place capable of going beyond the traditional boundaries of museums and opening up to the complexity of a globalized reality in all its manifestations, establishing connections between the world of design and that of fashion, architecture, science, technology, and creativity in general, but also the production system.
