MAXXI, National museum of contemporary art in Flaminio district, Rome, Italy
The MAXXI Museum features fluid architectural lines and overlapping spaces designed by architect Zaha Hadid across 29,000 square meters of exhibition area.
The museum originated from a 1997 initiative when the Ministry of Cultural Heritage acquired former military barracks in the Flaminio district for cultural purposes.
Two distinct sections, MAXXI Arte and MAXXI Architettura, present rotating exhibitions of contemporary artworks and architectural designs from Italian and international creators.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 11:00 to 19:00, with extended hours until 22:00 on Saturdays, offering guided tours and educational workshops.
The building structure incorporates concrete walls at various angles, creating unexpected interior pathways that guide visitors through naturally illuminated exhibition spaces.
