The Milan Triennial V was the first to be held at the Palazzo dell'Arte [it], the first recognised by the Bureau of International Expositions and also the first to be a triennial event (having previously been held biennially).

Displays included mural paintings by De Chirico, Sironi, Campigli and Carlo Carrà.
