Next to Park Sempione is La Triennale di Milano, a modern art and design museum whose original aim was to stimulate the relationship between industry, the manufacturing sectors and the applied arts. Triennale became a foundation in 1999 and has since redefined its aim towards research and exhibitions on architecture, decorative and visual arts, design, industrial production, fashion and audio-visual communication. The
Triennale Design Museum is home to the Collezione Permanente, a collection of major pieces in contemporary Italian design.
