Triennale Milano
Via Alemagna, 6

A series of encounters dedicated to discovering the details of our institution, transformed into stories through reading. Each session features a read‑aloud of three picture books, all linked by a shared element—an object, a shape, a color—found within the spaces of the Palazzo. Between one story and the next, we go on a hunt for these elements inside the building, training a curious and imaginative gaze.
