IED and ADI Design together until 2027
Date
15 July 2024
For the next three years the IED Group has renewed its partnership with the ADI Foundation, dedicated to the protection and promotion of design culture and guardian of the historic Compasso d'Oro Collection.
Thanks to this agreement, all of the Group’s students, lecturers, alumni and staff at the IED communities in Italy, Spain, Brazil and the Aldo Galli Academy of Fine Arts will have free and unlimited access to the ADI Design Museum - Compasso d'Oro for the next three years.
The ADI Design Museum is located at Piazza Compasso d'Oro 1 in Milan and is open from Monday to Sunday, 10:30 am to 8 pm (last admission 7:15 pm). The museum is closed On Fridays.
The ADI Design Museum was created around the entire repertoire of projects belonging to the historical collection of the Compasso d'Oro award, an award created in 1954 based on an idea conceived by Gio Ponti to highlight the quality of made-in-Italy design, and today the oldest and most institutional recognition of the sector worldwide.
Together with the Permanent Collection, the museum spaces accommodate in-depth temporary exhibitions transversal initiatives and meetings for the general public, with the aim of contributing to the promotion and appreciation of design culture on a national and international level.
The temporary exhibition dedicated to the winning projects of the XXVIII edition of the Compasso D'Oro can be visited from 20 June to 15 September. The 2024 edition will mark 70 years of the prestigious award, which has become a benchmark for a sector that today represents significant cultural and economic value and has given rise to a historical collection recognised in 2004 by the Italian Ministry of Culture as an “asset of exceptional artistic and historical interest”.
All the catalogues of the exhibitions hosted by ADI Design Museum over the next three years will be available in libraries in Milan and, in the coming months, in Rome and Turin.
