Palazzo Riso, Modern art museum in historic center, Palermo, Italy.
The Regional Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art occupies a neoclassical palace on Corso Vittorio Emanuele, featuring multiple exhibition spaces across several floors.
Built in 1784 for Prince Belmonte and later owned by the Riso family, the palace endured bomb damage during World War II before its restoration in the 1990s.
The museum displays works by contemporary artists including Emilio Isgrò, Giovanni Anselmo, and Carla Accardi, representing current artistic movements in Sicily.
The museum welcomes visitors from Tuesday through Saturday between 09:00 and 18:30, and on Sundays from 09:00 to 13:00, with wheelchair accessibility throughout the building.
The marble coat of arms of the Riso family, created by Ignazio Marabitti, decorates the entrance portal of this converted 18th-century palace.
