Culture Index exists to catalog cultural institutions online, and highlight the best practices that inspire us.
Launching with a focus on museums and building from there, we are a resource for both research and discovery. Browse information about online communications, and discover ideas with examples of what’s possible for cultural institutions in the digital space.
As a community project facilitated by Base, we invite you to use and contribute to this growing resource.
Fondazione Prada
Fondazione Prada, a cultural institution created in 1993 by Miuccia Prada and Patrizio Bertelli, operates in the belief that art and study are useful and necessary to understand the changes taking place in the world through new and engaging perspectives. In the first two decades of activity the Foundation commissioned utopian projects and monographs in Italy and abroad from recognized international figures, established and emerging artists. Since 2002, previously unexplored research paths have also been undertaken by presenting philosophy conferences, architecture exhibitions and initiatives dedicated to cinema.
