OPENING OF M9 MUSEUM - MULTIMEDIA MUSEUM OF '900
1st DECEMBER 2018 | VENICE MESTRE

M9 is the name of the new urban regeneration district in Venice Mestre designed by the Berlin-based architecture firm Sauerbruch Hutton.

A multipurpose project for the city
M9 is going to be more than just a museum. The venue hosts a 200-seat auditorium, a restaurant with terrace and a Retail Innovation Centre. It will cover a whole city block with pedestrian areas, multiple courtyards with free Wifi. Need to charge your mobile? You can use one of the sockets available on the benches outside.

Urban regeneration through green architecture
The complex includes a 16th-century convent - completely refurbished - and a brand new contemporary building - probably Venice Mestre’s most instagramed spot! This project, presented at the Architecture Biennale too, is signed by Sauerbruch Hutton and boasts the LEED green certification. All the external surface is covered by ceramic tiles in 13 different colours, matching the most frequent chromatic patterns of Mestre’s urban landscape.

Black and White Box
There are going to be 2 main exhibition options. A temporary one in the “White Box” (M000), aiming to help us shape the 21st century through what happened and what we experienced in the 20th century. A permanent one, in the “Black Box” (M9), which is going to be an amazing discovery journey through the 20th century in Italy.
