Terrarium began as the artistic hub of Contextus a translation and publishing services agency that has been working with leading publishers and institutions in the arts sector since 2011.

With over 1,000 catalogues under its management, Contextus created Terrarium to launch new projects and offer services that go beyond the publishing world. Workshops, events, video interviews and podcasts are among the activities that Terrarium organises to promote the growth of the art world

Terrarium’s activities enhance the potential of its headquarters, the B&B Due Fiumi 1908. The historic villa, surrounded by the greenery of the Ticino Park, is a benchmark in the art of hospitality and well-being.

Its spacious interiors, large garden and walnut grove surrounding the property offer the perfect setting for workshops, exhibitions, presentations and events. The connection with nature constantly inspires and fuels Terrarium’s mission – Art in Growth, making the B&B the ideal location for artist residencies.
