The Triennale di Milano is a museum of art and design in the Parco Sempione in Milan, in Lombardy in northern Italy. It is housed in the Palazzo dell'Arte [it], built between 1931 and 1933 to designs by Giovanni Muzio and financed by Antonio Bernocchi and his brothers Andrea and Michele.[1]: 1948  The building houses a theatre, the Teatro dell'Arte, which was also designed by Muzio.[2]: 51
