ITALY’S FIRST METRO URBAN MUSEUM IS BORN
With 600 square meters of vertical surface and 4 trains traveling through the city, amounting to a total of approximately 2,000 square meters of urban art, a unique open-air museum is taking shape at the metro depot in Via Magnolini, opening its doors to citizens and tourists.
Following contributions from Luca Font, J. Demsky, and Joys, on April 1, 2025, the official opening of the museum will be inaugurated by Peeta with Explicit Dynamics. Peeta is one of the most renowned urban artists, known for transforming simple walls into three-dimensional geometric illusions.
With his monumental work on the façade of one of the Brescia metro depot buildings and the decoration of an entire train, Peeta brings a moving artwork to the new museum for the first time: a mural that, with its distinctive use of fluid shapes and interwoven volumes, seems to explode from the surface, redefining the perception of architectural space.
Launched in 2023 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Brescia’s metro and the year of Brescia Bergamo as the Capital of Culture, the Metro Urban Museum aims to bring the most authentically contemporary art forms to the city and serve as an expressive tool for transforming spaces. It seeks to enhance the perception of urban environments and encourage visitors to reflect on current social themes.
