Go to agenda

BASE Milano is a hybrid cultural center serving the city.
Not a museum, not a theater, not just a gathering space or a restaurant, not a traditional coworking space, not simply a place to dance. We are all these things at once—and much more.

Highlights

Performing Architecture

New ways of thinking together to reshape the city: Performing Architecture is a widespread festival that weaves together architecture and the performing arts to transform urban space alongside its inhabitants. Want to know more? Come at BASE on March, 13!
