Description

The dominant element of this exhibition is the colour of the floor/code.

The floor/code colour is a puzzle of seven fireproof wooden platforms of various colours on which the artefacts are displayed, in some places in showcases, in others on pedestals and mounts.

An energising and identifying element that helps one not lose one’s bearings in a very rich and varied labyrinthine exhibition, which displays the historical collections of the various institutions of the State University of Milan on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of its foundation.
