The peculiarities of the architecture of Villa Erba and its aesthetic features are well suited to special exhibitions, with well-defined themes and relatively small size.

A lot of attention is paid to the seasonality of the activities (not only for the center but also for the nearby hotels): currently, most of the events are concentrated between spring and autumn. The goal will be to cover the whole year, retraining the low season and through events that will lead to a further improvement.
