The exhibition plan for the Ancient Art Museum at Castello Sforzesco,
developed by BBPR between 1947 and 1956, is part of a general process
of re-organization and renewal of museums carried out in Italy after
World War II, in order to educate a larger and more varied public in the
values of art and history. Ernesto Nathan Rogers, who had been
reflecting theoretically on those values since the Thirties, finally had a
chance to pass them on to visitors through specifically dedicated
planning solutions elaborated with BBPR. The task presented a number
of stiff challenges: how could the architectural firm combine the
modernity of their shapes, materials and technical solutions with those
of Castello Sforzesco, inherited from Beltrami, and correspondingly
present the public with history’s continuous journey from past to
present? How could they establish a continuity among collections made
up of fragments, putting them into a lively, comprehensible narrative?
And finally – a problem concerning Rogers more than anyone else – how
could they capitalize on this occasion to test the effectiveness of many
theoretical assumptions, and perhaps to formulate new ones ‘on the
field’? A comparative study of Rogers’ writings and the most significant
solutions for the museum allows to analyze the strategies adopted by
BBPR to meet those challenges, while at the same time casting some
light on the importance of Castello Sforzesco in the context of Italian
museography.
