Milan’s art scene wrapped up a major show this week as Anselm Kiefer’s exhibition “Le Alchimiste” closed its doors after attracting more than 150,000 visitors.
- The exhibit opened earlier this year at the city’s historic museum, showcasing Kiefer’s large‑scale canvases and sculptural installations that blend myth, history, and personal memory.
- Throughout its run, the show sparked lively discussions about how art can reinterpret collective trauma and cultural heritage.
- City councilor Sacchi praised the project, calling it “a powerful blend of art, history and memory that resonated with the public.”
- With the final day behind us, the museum plans to rotate new contemporary works into the space, keeping the momentum alive.
