關於
The Museo delle Culture di Lugano (MUSEC) was opened on 23 September 1989 with the aim of preserving most of the ethnic art collected by Serge Brignoni and coming in particular from the Far East, India, South-East Asia, Indonesia and Oceania. Since then, the museum has had the honour of receiving numerous other prestigious collections of ethnic and oriental art, photography, contemporary and applied art. Works donated or deposited at MUSEC have been or will be the protagonists of dedicated temporary exhibitions. The museum was founded as the Museum of Extra-European Cultures, in 2007 it was renamed "Museo delle Culture" and since 2017 "MUSEC: Museo delle Culture". It is housed in the central Villa Malpensata, with access possible both from Via Mazzini and from Riva Caccia.
As of 1 January 2019, the Museo delle Culture (MUSEC) is entrusted to a Foundation that ensures its operation, while maintaining its identity, autonomy and image. The "Fondazione culture e musei (FCM)" allows for a more effective management, capable, thanks also to the renovated Villa Malpensata premises, of generating further synergies and economies of scope and of intensifying interaction with the territory and the public. MUSEC will thus benefit from countless advantages, which will allow it to continue and improve the work carried out so far, in all areas of its countless activities.
