The Poldi Pezzoli Museum in Milan presents “Right to Culture,” a project developed in collaboration with Chiomenti to provide free admission to the museum for all students, at every level of education, who apply through the appropriate office at their school during the upcoming school year.
The initiative stems from the goal of promoting access to cultural heritage for younger generations, viewing culture as a fundamental tool for understanding the world, developing critical thinking, and contributing to the formation of individual and collective identity. Through this project, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum aims to overcome the financial barriers that may limit students’ participation in cultural life, while also providing an educational guide to accompany their visit.
For the first time, thanks to its collaboration with a partner like Chiomenti, the museum is introducing a structured program that also includes educational activities dedicated to exploring and understanding the collections. The goal is to enable students to engage with the works housed at the Poldi Pezzoli, recognizing artistic heritage as a common good and as an opportunity for knowledge, learning, and the development of their critical thinking.
As part of the project’s launch, the first 40 classes to register will also be offered free educational activities to complement their visit, including interdisciplinary workshops designed to integrate the museum experience with in-depth learning opportunities. Chiomenti’s initiative is part of WeCare, the program through which the firm translates its commitment to sustainability into concrete actions aimed at people, communities, and the protection of cultural heritage. The “Right to Culture” project thus fits within the framework of collaborations between cultural institutions and private professional entities aimed at making artistic heritage more accessible, recognizing its role as a shared resource and a tool for social development.
The programs offered by the Poldi Pezzoli Museum will be interdisciplinary and will encompass various fields, ranging from art history to civic education, from science to philosophy, and even career guidance activities. The educational offerings will include various formats, such as role-playing, hands-on workshops, activities designed to enhance personal expressive skills, debates, and narrative-based programs.
“This project represents an important step in our educational mission,” says Alessandra Quarto, director of the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, “and reaffirms the museum’s role as a gateway to knowledge and a space for growth for future generations. The museum is a civic, welcoming, and generative space, capable of caring for people and communities by offering tools to navigate contemporary complexity. The project aligns with the original vision of Gian Giacomo Poldi Pezzoli, who as early as the mid-19th century envisioned the Museum as a space open to students, artisans, and artists; and today, more than ever, investing in the younger generations means increasingly reducing cultural inequalities and fostering more informed citizens.”
“We believe,” commented Gregorio Consoli and Filippo Modulo, Managing Partners at Chiomenti, “that sustainability is first and foremost a path of growth and responsibility. Through the ‘Right to Culture’ project, we aim to support ever-broader access to knowledge and cultural heritage, recognizing their fundamental value in the education and development of young people.”
