May 11 #HeroesMW
#HERCULES Che fatica! the webseries dedicated to our hero
The super hero par excellence: divine and human at the same time, invincible but vulnerable to temptations. Hercules and his myth cross the imagination of all ages, embodying our anxieties and our aspirations.

Roma città chiusa by Anton Giulio Onofri
“In these days of virus and cloister I have had a privilege. On behalf of the National Gallery I went around Rome to photograph it deserted, emptied, silent. A city in pause for reflection, from us, from everything, and from itself”.

May 14 #MuseumMomentsMW
On Monday 3 February 2020 the National Gallery inaugurated the third and final appointment of Connection Gallery with the Notturno con figura exhibition by Lucrezia Longobardi.
Due to the health emergency linked to the Coronavirus pandemic, the exhibition can no longer be visited by the public on Sunday 8 March. We asked the artists on display and the curator some contributions to carry out the finissage of the exhibition online on our blog.

LAGALLERIANAZIONALE X #FridaysForFuture
In 2017, the CO2 emission of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art was equivalent to 2,600 tCO2 / year. It means that a forest 3 times larger than Villa Borghese was needed to balance these climate-changing gas emissions.
In 2025 we’ll have a nearly Zero Energy Building: a museum with almost zero consumption.
May 16 #TechnologyMW
#SCROLLTHEEXHIBITION is the first exhibition in the world created on Instagram, online in March 2017 on the profile of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art @lagallerianazionale.
May 17 #DreamsMW
The best way to start: on Monday and May 18 in the International Museum Day, with a new exhibition in the Salone Centrale, with a new space of the Sala delle Colonne and a new installation on the Staircase.
Opening the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art on the first possible day after the coronavirus emergency was the appointment we could not miss.
