Milan, January 5 2020 - Around 20 thousand people crowded the Milanese civic museums on the first "Sunday at the Museum" of 2020. In the lead with 4.853 visitors is the Natural History Museum which, especially during the free Sundays, is a destination for families of all ages to discover, or rediscover, the wonders of science and nature.

The Civic Aquarium also welcomed many visitors to its rooms (around 3700), and over a thousand people visited GAM, the Gallery of Modern Art in via Palestro, the exhibition "Canova. The ideal faces" and the precious collections of museum between the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
