The premises of an old 17th-century icehouse were recovered by the "Radicediunopercento" cultural association, which returned them to the people of Milan by dedicating them to the Bolognese sculptor Luciano Minguzzi and adapting them as a venue for exhibitions and important cultural events. The Museum immediately established itself as a centre for experimentation and high-profile artistic collaborations, also hosting, since 2012, the international exhibition "Wildlife Photographer of the Year": the hundred shots awarded in the most prestigious nature photography competition in the world, organised by the Natural History Museum in London.
