From April 15 to 25, the former perfume factory Spazio Profumo hosts the third edition of MEGA. Founded by art consultant Mattia Pozzoni alongside Marta Orsola Sironi and Mauro Mattei, the project continues to establish itself as a "nomadic ecosystem" that moves away from traditional trade fair booths in favor of a unified, curated space.

This year’s central theme, "City of Glass," brings together works from leading galleries and private foundations into a cohesive architectural dialogue. Instead of rigid market segmentation, MEGA offers an "open house" format: featuring free admission, late-night hours, and immersive dinners, transforming the acquisition of art into a vibrant social experience.

The platform’s primary mission is to make the art market more human and accessible. Here, Milan’s industrial context meets high aesthetics, proving that a contemporary art fair can be more than just a marketplace—it can be a significant cultural statement that reshapes the city’s landscape.
