Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna

The Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna in Rome is Italy’s principal national museum for modern and contemporary art, housing major works from the 19th and 20th centuries. The collection includes paintings, sculptures and works on paper by Italian and international artists.

Permanent displays present movements from late 19th-century realism and verismo through Futurism and later 20th-century trends, alongside rotating temporary exhibitions. The museum’s holdings document the development of modern art in Italy and its dialogue with wider European currents.

The institution developed from national art collections assembled in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and has expanded through acquisitions and loans to cover a broad span of modern artistic production. The gallery also hosts research and educational activities related to its collections.

The museum is located in Rome near Villa Borghese and the city’s cultural quarter, and is accessible by public transport from central Rome.

• Scope of collection: The gallery focuses on 19th and 20th century Italian and international painting and sculpture, so visitors interested in modern Italian art will find major national holdings here.
