Museum of Contemporary Art of Alcamo, Contemporary art museum in Piazza Ciullo, Alcamo, Italy
The Museum of Contemporary Art of Alcamo is located in a former Jesuit college on Piazza Ciullo and is divided into two main areas. One section displays contemporary artworks while the other presents archaeological discoveries and historical objects from Mount Bonifato and the Castle of Calatubo.
The museum was established in 2014 and held its first exhibition called 'Art on Loan' in 2015, featuring works borrowed from several Italian museums. This opening marked the beginning of permanent art collection activities at this location.
The museum is housed in a former Jesuit college and displays contemporary works by local artists including Turi Simeti and Vito Bongiorno alongside archaeological finds from the surrounding region. The exhibition spaces reflect how art and local heritage come together in the community today.
Access to the museum is through the main entrance on Piazza Ciullo and the spaces are well laid out for visitors to navigate. It is worth planning enough time to see both sections since the contemporary art exhibition and archaeological collection each deserve proper attention.
The building itself was originally a Jesuit college and was later converted to display art collections. This repurposing connects the historical architecture with modern art presentation in an interesting way.
