Museum
La Storia
Rome’s National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art is located near Valle Giulia. It hosts 20,000 works – paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations – and offers a great view on art starting from the 1800’s to today. This is the only national museum entirely dedicated to modern and contemporary art. The National Gallery is supported through the special autonomy granted by the Reform of MiBACT (Ministero per i Beni e le attività culturali e per il turismo); it is a place of research and experimentation where one can think about languages, exhibition experiences and the role of contemporary museums.
Archivi
The archives of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art hold documents and funds that tell the story of the museum and offer the public valuable research tools on Italian cultural and artistic history from the nineteenth century to today.
