The m.a.x. museum, opened on November 12, 2005 on the initiative of the Max Huber-Kono Foundation, became a public institution of the Municipality of Chiasso in 2010. In the statutory purposes there is the will to spread the knowledge of graphic art, design, architecture and photography, as well as contemporary visual communication. The aspiration of the museum is to build a bridge between the past and the new generations of graphic artists and designers. The seat of the m.a.x. museum, designed by the architects Durisch and Nolli, is located near the Cinema Teatro and the Spazio Officina, a position that allows to create an interrelation between the main cultural structures realized in the border town and, at the same time, to constitute a new and important cultural center characterized by exhibition and theatrical contents of international scope.
