This photo was taken when I was in Milan in 1987. I was invited out to the museum at Arese. It was winter, November, and not open to the public. They unlocked the museum for us and had a cleaning lady follow us around, turning lights in the galleys on and off as we walked from gallery to gallery, which is why the lighting is so bright up front and dark in the background. Needless to say this was not a formal photo shoot by any means, and was hard to get a good focus, but it is a rather evocative shot. And yes, we climbed in and out of most of the cars!
