Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Roma

Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Roma is a national art museum in Rome, Italy, holding more than 5,000 paintings and sculptures displayed across multiple exhibition rooms in the Palace of Fine Arts. The works spread across different halls and present Italian and European art from the early 19th century to the present day.

The institution opened in 1883 to present contemporary art from the newly unified Italian nation. In 1915, the collection moved to its current home inside the Palace of Fine Arts.

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.
