OUTFIT 900 at Palazzo Morando, Milan

Palazzo Morando museum preserves two distinct paths. Upon entering the first floor, the visitors immediately face the Pinacoteca, an art gallery housing a major iconography collection. The viewers will find themselves projected in representations of Milanese daily actions belonging to the seventeenth and nineteenth century: through paintings, artefacts and reconstructions, you can witness the era that was able to make Milan the current European metropolis. The second part of the museum sees the eighteenth-century rooms restored according to their original layout and to the typical features of an aristocratic mansion. In 2010, Palazzo Morando welcomed the "Costume, Moda e Immagine" collection: the rooms of the building, in this way, have seen parading vintage clothes which, in turn, are displayed. Clothes are of a rare and very high quality: they embellish the space in which they stand and witness the splendour of the noble people that lived in those rooms. Palazzo Morando’s impressive collection of antique and modern clothes and accessories allows the museum to set up yearly exhibitions on a variety of important topics. This year, the show is focused on twentieth-century women and the outfits for life’s special occasions: weddings, debutante balls, theatre firsts and gala evenings.
