Milan's museum of world cultures occupies a steel-and-zinc David Chipperfield conversion of the former Ansaldo industrial works, the anchor of the Tortona design district. Beyond a permanent ethnographic collection drawn from the Americas, Africa, Asia and Oceania, it stages serious temporary shows (recent: M.C. Escher, Chiharu Shiota). A real institution, not a photo backdrop.
