The Galleria nazionale d’arte moderna e contemporanea, established in 1883 for the purpose of documenting the “living” art is nowadays a museum with two souls, just like two are the centuries it deals with: the 19th and the 20th.
Its important collections in fact, on the one hand mirror the cultural events of the unitary Italian State also with their international reflections, on the other hand they are the great historical reserve of the Italian contemporary art system.
