Street Art in Milan, by robinbanks on Jul 10, 2008 11:48:37 GMT 1, Hi folks
I'm off to Milan tomorrow for a long weekend and thought I'd ask the forum if there's anywhere they'd recommend checking out?
It doesn't have to be street art related (although that would be nice). Any tips about places of interest, natural beauty or just cool places to eat, drink and chill would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Street Art in Milan, by Coach on Jul 10, 2008 16:56:35 GMT 1, Went there in Feb.
Not a great deal of really good street art (that I could find anyway), except for one piece that is simply amazing.
There is a gallery which has a huge Blu covering it's facade.
I will try to dig out the name of the gallery and will let you know.
That is well worth visiting.

Street Art in Milan, by Coach on Jul 10, 2008 21:22:20 GMT 1, The Blu piece I visited, which he did with Erica il Cane was at a gallery called Padiglione D'Arte Contemoranea.
But, I just noticed on Blu's website that he's done a load more in Milan - they look great too - gutted I visited before they were done (or if already done, without knowing about them).
The website says Bicocca, which I guess is a place, but I'm not sure.
Check out Blu's website.
Have a great trip.
AND - if you plan to see The Last Supper - you have to book well in advance - like days and days. We tried just pitching up - no chance.
AND - yes, the Duomo is breathtaking.

Street Art in Milan, by robinbanks on Jul 11, 2008 0:16:30 GMT 1, Cheers for the advice Coach.
We're staying in a hotel right next to duomo so we'll be sure to check that out.
Would love to see 'The Last Supper' also - my sis lives over there so I'll give her a ring and see if she can book us some tickets.
I'll have a squizz at Blu's website before we leave.
Thanks again mate - you're a star!

Street Art in Milan, by r1 on Jul 11, 2008 9:54:05 GMT 1, I was in Milan in 2003 for world spray. Milan is the most bombed place i've ever been to. The halls of fame are on the outskirts of the city. Look out for la mano's hands and dumbo who is up on a rediculous scale. I cant remember the names of places but there is a graff shop nr the cathederal in the city. They might be able to help you there. Theres some origonal sketches by phase two in the shop and a whole heap of stuff by other artists. I took about 5 films just of street art when i was in in milan. Also Mr Wany paints in Milan alot and you might even see some of peeta's work and other stuff by Eid crew and some of the best realism i've ever seen by eron.
