Visitors encounter works by van Gogh, Klimt, Monet and Canova, alongside prominent Italian artists working from Neoclassicism through to abstract movements of the 1960s. The arrangement follows the evolution of European and Italian art during a transformative period in art history.
The building stands at Viale delle Belle Arti 131 and opens Tuesday through Sunday between 8:30 in the morning and 7:30 in the evening. Visitors needing step-free access can use the entrance on Via Gramsci 71.
The institution oversees several smaller collections at other locations across Rome, including the Boncompagni Ludovisi Museum, the Hendrik C. Andersen Museum, the Manzù Collection and the Mario Praz Museum. These satellite sites offer specialized perspectives on art and design that complement the main collection.
