Nestled in a stunning former monastery, the Galleria Comunale d'Arte Moderna is Rome's gem, boasting a captivating mix of modern and contemporary art amidst serene surroundings.
"La Galleria Nazionale For 120 years, Italy’s national gallery of modern and contemporary art, La Galleria Nazionale, maintained a relatively low profile in its gorgeous neoclassical palace on the edge of Villa Borghese—but no longer. The 2016 renovations reintroduced the collection, which covers 5,000-plus Italian works from the late 1700s to yesterday. Blockbuster Italian and international artists represented include Canova, Clemente, Modigliani, Beecroft, Penone, Calder, Kandinsky, Duchamp, Pollock, and Twombly."
"Rome’s Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna (GNAM) showcases the city’s art scene through thousands of sculptures, paintings, and drawings from the 19th and 20th centuries. They’re also cultivating art appreciation in little ones by running family tours and creative workshops alongside temporary exhibitions with the help of a non-profit called Art and Seek. Teachers come armed with paper, easels, crayons, and paintbrushes, and depending on theme of the exhibition, kids can make papier-mâché sculptures, paint their own watercolors, or try and impersonate magical realism. There’s drawing, dancing, and play—pretty much the most fun anyone under the age of 13 could ever have in an art gallery. Workshops are generally suitable for children ages 5 and over. They’re not always clearly advertised, so call in advance to find out dates and times, and to ask for an English-speaking guide." - Maresa Manara
"Travelers can visit the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna in Rome without paying a fee during the newly established free museum weeks."
"Established in 1883 to celebrate Italy's unification, this collection of paintings and sculptures moved to its current home in 1915. Inside, you'll find works by renowned artists like Rodin, Monet, De Chirico, Degas, and van Gogh, as well as lesser known Italian artists like Lucio Fontana, Piero Manzoni, and Antonio Mancini. It would probably take one to two hours to see the whole collection, depending on how long you linger. Don't miss Antonio Canova's Hercules and Lychas, Giovanni Boldini's portrait of Giuseppe Verdi, and Modigliani's portrait of Hanka Zborowska." - Laura Itzkowitz
