Battle Over ‘Privatization’ Of Milan’s Pinacoteca Di Brera Museum

“The culture minister Lorenzo Ornaghi said that ‘Brera has been stagnant for the last 40 years’ and the government officially announced plans this week to hand over the museum’s management to the Fondazione La Grande Brera. Milan’s head of culture Stefano Boeri stresses that ‘foundations are not-for-profit’. Critics have condemned the move as ‘privatisation’ and ‘selling off’ Italy’s heritage.”
