Moleskine Detour Milano

Created in 2006, Detour, is much more than a simple art exhibition: it is an experience, which transports the visitor into the heart of the creative process, from the mind of the artist to the page of the notebook. It is a project dedicated to culture and shared creativity and offers a broad view of human creativity through decorated, hacked notebooks, transformed into sculptures or graphic novels, filled with notes, sketches, paintings and drawings.

The exhibition has already conquered cities such as Shanghai, Paris, New York and London: more than a hundred unique works by artists from all over the world will be on show in Milan, helping to raise awareness of creativity as a tool for social change and spreading the culture of sharing and giving.

Moleskine® was created as a brand in 1997, bringing back to life the nameless black notebooks used by writers and artists like Vincent van Gogh, Pablo Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Bruce Chatwin that had long gone out of print. Today, the Moleskine brand encompasses a family of objects that enhance productivity and creativity including notebooks, diaries, and planners, journals, bags, writing instruments, reading accessories, publishing and digital tools. The Moleskine brand is a worldwide presence thanks to over 50 Moleskine Stores.
