Inside Milan’s Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, Galleria Vik Milano occupies upper floors overlooking the mosaic pavements and glass-vaulted arcades. Each room is conceived individually around contemporary art, with bold murals, sculpture and custom furniture set against the building’s historic proportions. Many windows open directly towards the galleria, placing its ironwork, shopfronts and passing crowds within the interiors. VIK Pellico Otto restaurant continues the gallery-like approach through colourful installations and broad views into the arcade, while the discreet entrance on Via Silvio Pellico leads into one of Milan’s defining architectural landmarks.
