"medium for the transfer of knowledge" and not as a showroom for
products.
The building ground of the museum is

Milan, Lombardy, Italy is the place where the Cathedral was built;
there were actually other buildings and smaller churches in the area, which
were ordered to be taken down so that this massive cathedral could be built.
Now there was a plaza built throughout the year to be in front of the
cathedral, and it’s a great tourist spot.
