Head out to Fondazione Prada, a contemporary art campus shaped by Rem Koolhaas. Explore exhibitions across its distinct buildings and ride the glass elevator for views, with English translations alongside the displays.
Full description
Fondazione Prada occupies a complex of buildings designed by Rem Koolhaas, where contemporary art exhibitions are spread across varied architectural spaces. Reviewers call it an architectural gem slightly off the beaten path, with each building carefully detailed and a glass elevator offering views over the site.
The museum is large, and some visitors spend two to three hours or more, though others note that signage could be clearer. English translations are provided.
It suits visitors interested in art and architecture alike, and it opens at 10:00, so arriving early helps avoid crowds.

Very large museum with inspiring information and English translations. I went right at the opening on a Friday, it is very easy to spend 2-3+ hours here! Definitely take the glass elevator for gorgeous panoramic views of Milan. Don’t skip and of the halls!
