FOR KIDS | A MUSEUM IN THE GARDEN, THE GARDEN IN THE MUSEUM

Sunday 12 May 2024 at 15.00 pm
On the occasion of Orticola, we admire the splendid garden that embraces the Villa Reale and which suffered serious damage in last summer's storms: not only will we appreciate the surprise effects designed ad hoc by those who designed the Garden at the end of the 18th century and its functions for the inhabitants of the villa, but we will also observe the results of current climate change, map in hand. Inside the Villa, we will look for the gardens present in the Museum's works, to observe together whether they are the background or in dialogue with man's constructions: does anyone remind us of the gardens of our homes? And then we too will create our secret garden!

HORTICULTURAL SPECIAL | GALLERY WITH A VIEW

Sunday 12 May 2024 at 15.00 pm
A journey that aims to underline the close relationship in the History of Art between gardens and their buildings and more generally between Nature, Art and the artist's gaze. The garden of the Villa Reale is in fact the first English garden in Milan, which contrasts with the Italian garden; we investigate the apparent spontaneous arrangement of the tree species as if it were a natural landscape, discovering that nothing is random just as the arrangement of architecture and statues is not, but that, on the contrary, it all responds to the view that the designer wanted to be enjoyed from the villa and in the garden. Thus we observe how even in the works that portray everyday and objective scenes, the study of the view chosen by the author with particular, almost photographic cuts or the choice of format and lighting system is fundamental, up to the singular frames and the same architectural container, the villa, which houses the collections. A path that underlines how the artist's point of view is always studied and fundamental in the balance of one's creation.

WOMEN, MOTHERS AND FREE THINKERS

Saturday 25 May 2024 at 15.00 pm
In the month of May, we propose a journey through the rooms of the GAM for women and aimed at all those who want to go beyond the canvas and the aesthetic aspects. In fact, we tell of women models, companions, wives, goddesses, each of them contextualized in the history and culture of the time. From Hayez to Picasso through Segantini and Previati, from the figure of Mary, to the woman-angel to the determined female figures in their daily lives, we observe how the role of women in society and art has changed.
DURATION: 1h
COST: guided tour €10 per person + entrance ticket according to current rates €5-€3 each.
