The splendor of Roman art and culture certainly didn't end with the Renaissance period. The MAXXI Museum is proof that the arts are alive and well in contemporary Rome, and is home to a diverse collection of local and international exhibits and galleries.
MAXXI - the National Museum of XXI Century Arts - is Italy’s first national institution devoted to contemporary creativity and conceived as a broad cultural canvas. MAXXI is managed by a Foundation of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and houses two museums: MAXXI Art and MAXXI Architecture.
Above all, MAXXI is “a laboratory for cultural experimentation and innovation, for the study, research and production of the aesthetic contents of out time.”
The MAXXI building itself is a major architectural work designed by Zaha Hadid, located in Rome’s Flaminio quarter and featuring innovative and spectacular forms.
Here is information on guided tours. If you want a tour in English you will have to reserve a private group tour ahead of time. Otherwise you can purchase your tickets at the ticket office directly or by telephone.
The bookshop is impressive, with an array of art, architecture, design and photography titles chosen from among the best of Italian and international art markets; perfect for souvenirs or gifts.
