When we visited, there was an exhibition by OMA/AMO called “Diagrams,” exploring the history of visual representation and systems of thinking. The concept was intriguing, but the experience felt somewhat distant — the space was dark, and since all the windows were covered for the exhibition, we couldn’t enjoy those fleeting canal views that usually make Venetian interiors so special. Entry cost €10 per person, which felt a bit high for the scale of the show. Overall, worth seeing if you’re interested in the theme, but the setting left us wanting more connection to the city outside.
Great museum in grand building. I loved the current exhibition "Diagrams," designed and organized by OMA (Rem Koolhaas' firm). It includes some great visualizations over the centuries, including the famous diagrams by W.E.B. Du Bois (1868-1963). It strikes me that these diagrams and visualizations were more impressive in prior centuries than today despite the progress in technology.
We went while the exposition “diagrams” was happening and it was worth every single penny. The selection of diagrams was great, and the way that they were organized in theme gave the visitors great guidelines. The building and its architecture were also stunning, which helped.
The Fondazione Prada was turned to a big pawn shop these days. At the end all interior will be transformed into artificial diamonds when I understand the concept right. Quite fun idea. There is a lot to explore in this venue.
The worst experience I ever had in a museum/exibition space. I give special description of the arrogant lady in the second floor. Short, slim, black long hair, glasses with thick frame, flower piercing on her nose. It was about 15 mins before closing time. I wanted to see the rest of the exibition, she firmly told me, that I have to go and leave now, they are closing. I said I want to stay few more minutes and she started becoming aggressive, rude and respectless. Are those the values that PRADA stands for? Especially, when someone came from Vienna, as to see this particular exibition of OMA. Please reconsider how you chose your employees. Best regards!
