Museo PAN, Contemporary art museum in Naples, Italy
Museo PAN is a contemporary art museum housed in a grand 18th-century palace building on Via dei Mille in Naples. The institution displays rotating exhibitions of modern and contemporary art across its spacious galleries and exhibition halls.
The building was originally the Palazzo Carafa Roccella and underwent renovation in the early 2000s. It opened as a public art institution in 2005, transforming the historic palace into a contemporary cultural venue.
The name PAN stands for Palazzo delle Arti di Napoli and reflects its role as a center for contemporary artistic expression. Rotating exhibitions showcase current artists and their work, making it a place where visitors encounter living artistic voices and emerging creative directions.
The museum is accessible on weekdays with extended hours on weekends for visitor convenience. Its location on Via dei Mille makes it easy to reach by public transportation or on foot from central Naples.
The museum runs artist residency programs where creators work on-site and display their creations for the public. These initiatives turn the space into a place where visitors can observe artistic processes unfold, not just view finished works.
