No problem. I hope you enjoy the museum trip as much as I did!

Take the A8 (E35 or "Autostrada dei Laghi") North-east out of
Milan, When you get to the town of Rho, look for the the RHO exit
called the "Via Valera" take the exit right (if you see an
AutoGrill with huge arches on your left on the A8, you missed the
turnoff - this is a good landmark because you can't miss it!). Bear
left in the middle of the cloverleaf off of the A8 and take the
exit left. This winds around to the left and straightens out along
a row of woods. At the end of the straight, the road curves 90
degrees to the right and you end-up at a traffic circle. Take the
traffic circle around almost 270 degrees (you enter at 6:00, and
you exit between 10:00 and 9:00 after passing through 12:00! turn
right onto the "Viale Alfa Romeo" from the circle. Continue about
500 meters until you see a road "T" in from your left (it does not
cross the Viale Alfa Romeo, but ends there. Take that left. It is
the entrance to the factory and is so marked. Continue until you
pass under a portal which goes over the road. This used to be a
gate guard post, but the last time I was there, it was open and
unguarded. As soon as you pass through the portal, the road forks.
You can go straight or bear right. Take the right fork. This winds
around a bit and opens up into the employee and visitor parking
lot. As soon as the road opens up into the parking lot, you will
see a large guard shack at the extreme left with a fence on either
side of it. Find a parking place in the lot and go into that guard
house. There, you will be asked to surrender either your passport
or your driver's license. Then you follow the signs into the
building in front of you and to your left. Enter that, go down the
hall to the lobby, take the stairs to the upper level and walk out
the doors facing the atrium, and across the courtyard to the Museo
Storico building. You can't miss it and there are signs throughout
the office building to guide you. Just make sure that you go in the
AM well before 1:00 PM or in the PM after 3:00 as the museum is
closed for lunch during those hour. They will
throw you out promptly at 13:00 hours! These are explicit
instructions and if followed should take you right to the museum. I
wished I had good instructions like this the first time I went to
the Museo. I stumbled around Rho and Arese for hours trying to find
the goddamn place (I took the wrong exit). Enjoy, and I hope that
these instruction are of some help.
