On November 15, the Superintendency will open the construction site of the future National Museum of the Resistance, located at the Bastioni di Porta Volta, to the public. Guided tours will be offered by the technicians overseeing the project’s construction.
In Milan, the construction site of the National Museum of the Resistance will open to the public. On Sunday, November 15, 2026, the construction site at the Bastioni di Porta Volta in Milan will open its gates to the public. Visitors will be able to enter the spaces where the future museum—a project promoted and funded by the Ministry of Culture and the City of Milan—is taking shape, accompanied by those overseeing its construction day by day.
The open house is organized by the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape for the Metropolitan City of Milan. Visitors will be guided by Ministry technicians overseeing the project’s implementation: they will describe the progress of the work and explain both the architectural and curatorial concepts—that is, what the building will look like and what it will contain. For the Superintendency, which had already tested this format in 2025, it is a way to experience a national museum before it even exists, by viewing its structures before the exhibits are installed.
The tours last about forty minutes and take place in three sessions: at 10 a.m., 11 a.m., and 12 p.m. Each group is limited to a maximum of fifteen people; this limit was set to ensure safe movement through the construction site. Participation is free, but reservations are required and must be made under the visitor’s name. To gain access, visitors must also sign a waiver, a statement in which they assume responsibility for their own participation.
The meeting point is at the entrance on Via Alessandro Volta. The construction site occupies the area of the Bastioni di Porta Volta between Viale Montello, Piazza Baiamonti, and Via Alessandro Volta. The organizers recommend arriving at least ten minutes before the tour begins; staff at the entrance will then verify names and identification documents and distribute hard hats. During the tour, participants must pay close attention and always follow the instructions of the staff on duty: the construction site is active and has not been converted into an exhibition space for this occasion.
Those unable to secure a spot in Sunday’s three sessions can still observe the museum’s construction from the outside: along the perimeter of the construction site, there are informational panels dedicated to the architectural and museum design concepts. Between Viale Montello and Piazza Antonio Baiamonti, an observation window offers a view into the construction site, and an interactive kiosk allows visitors to learn more about the future museum and track its progress.
Updates on the project are posted on the website museonazionaleresistenza.it and on the museum’s social media profiles: @museonazionaleresistenza on Instagram and @resistenzamuseo on Facebook.
