Prada's art foundation has announced its new venue by OMA's research arm AMO will open this May, featuring a bar designed by film director Wes Anderson.

Scheduled to welcome visitors on May 9, the Fondazione Prada will be located on a Milanese industrial site at Largo Isarco – south of Milan's city center and away from the brand's headquarters.

Led by Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas and first revealed in 2008, AMO's design includes 11,000 square meters of exhibition space intended to "expand the repertoire of spatial typologies in which art can be exhibited and shared with the public."

While the Minneapolis Institute of Arts might not be the first place you'd expect to get your style fix, that may change with the opening of its exhibit devoted to Italian fashion.

"Italian Style: Fashion Since 1945" is a look at how Italy grew to be a fashion powerhouse, tracing its path starting at the end of World War II to the present. With a story told through 100 ensembles and accessories, with works from major fashion houses including Gucci, Prada, Versace, Valentino, Armani, Fendi, Pucci, Missoni and Dolce & Gabbana, "Italian Style" is a history lesson with stunning looks and a dash of Hollywood glamour.
