Fondazione Prada

This guide to Fondazione Prada in Milan tours the former gin distillery that architect Rem Koolhaas transformed into an art campus, anchored by a narrow tower wrapped entirely in gold leaf that locals call the Haunted House. It traces why Koolhaas chose gold over marble, the collection inside featuring artists like Louise Bourgeois and Robert Gober, and the sherbet-colored cafe filmmaker Wes Anderson designed nearby. Look up at the gutters and window frames to see just how far the gold leaf reaches.
