Regional Museum of Psychiatry, Milan | Hours, exhibitions and artworks on Artsupp

The Museo Regionale della Psichiatria was born in Milan in 1993, thanks to the will of Teresa Melorio and Enza Baccei, to undertake a fascinating project: rediscovering the human value of those who suffer from a psychiatric disorder, even a very serious one, integrating them into social and cultural life, overcoming the barriers that still segregate them in a separate world, completely detached from a society too busy maintaining the narrow canons of rationality and norm.
The MAPP is a contemporary art museum located in the former Paolo Pini Psychiatric Hospital in Milan, conceived in 1993 by Teresa Melorio and Enza Baccei and realized in collaboration with the Department of Mental Health of the Niguarda Ca' Granda Hospital, the artistic direction of Marco Meneguzzo, and the participation of some well-known art galleries in Milan.
The project's objective was to transform the psychiatric hospital into a meeting place where "making art" was an opportunity for the exchange of ideas and languages between professional artists and people affected by psychological distress, and where the sharing of cultural and artistic experiences between the so-called "healthy" and "sick" individuals contributed concretely to the care and transformation of a place that has been for years the emblem of incommunicability.
The works created directly on the walls of the former asylum are an expression of the intrinsic value that each person holds even when severely ill in body or mind; the MAPP testifies that a true transformation of the way of caring is also achieved through a specific aesthetic quality of space that expresses the richness of symbolic values of the human being in all its depth.
