Last week I went to MAXXI

The MAXXI - National Museum of XXI Century Arts is a museum of contemporary art, supported by the Foundation established by the Ministry of Heritage and Culture.

The museum was conceived as a place for multi-disciplinary experimentation and innovation in the arts and architecture . MAXXI reside in two museums, the art and MAXXI MAXXI architecture, whose permanent collections have increased both through the direct acquisition of works by purchasing projects, thematic competitions, prizes for the younger generations, donations, concessions.

addition to the two museums MAXXI houses an auditorium, a library and a media specialist, a library, a cafeteria and a bar / restaurant, galleries for temporary exhibitions, performances and educational initiatives. The large open space that draws outdoor spaces can accommodate work and live events.

MAXXI The seat of a great public work with the innovative architectural forms e spettacolari dell’architetto Zaha Hadid , si trova nel quartiere Flaminio di Roma. Il complesso architettonico – con i suoi 27mila mq circa – si integra nel tessuto della città e costituisce un nuovo spazio urbano aperto, articolato e “permeabile” al passaggio. Un percorso pedonale esterno segue la sagoma dell’edificio e si apre in una grande piazza che, ripristinando un collegamento urbano interrotto per quasi un secolo dal precedente impianto militare, offre ai visitatori un luogo di sosta e di svago. All’interno una grande hall a tutta altezza conduce ai servizi di accoglienza, alla caffetteria e al bookshop, all’auditorium e alle gallerie destinate a ospitare a rotazione le collezioni permanenti of the two museums, exhibitions and cultural events.
