"LA SCUOLA DELLA BIGIA" DEL COMUNE DI BRESSO

Dal 23 gennaio al 15 marzo 2026 la mostra si arricchisce grazie al prestito del dipinto La scuola della Bigia, di proprietà del Comune di Bresso. L'opera raffigura una classe della scuola primaria della città, dove la sorella del pittore Emilia, chiamata affettuosamente "la Bigia", lavorava come insegnante.

Il dipinto, di solito non visibile al pubblico, si pone in dialogo con le opere della mostra e consente di approfondire la vicenda umana e artistica di Anselmo Bucci.

VENERDÌ 20 FEBBRAIO - dalle 20.00 alle 23.00
Speciale “La scuola della Bigia”
Apertura straordinaria serale 
In occasione dell’esposizione del quadro “La scuola della Bigia” del Comune di Bresso una serata speciale al museo per visitare la mostra e il percorso espositivo.
