Turin Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art, Art museum in Crocetta district, Turin, Italy
The Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art houses around 45,000 works including paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, and video art displayed across multiple floors. The spaces are organized to showcase the range of artistic media and allow visitors to move through different sections.
The museum began in 1895 within a pavilion constructed for the Fourth National Exhibition of Fine Arts and operated until 1942. Air raids during World War II destroyed the original building, which was later reconstructed.
The collection shows Italian artworks from the 19th and 20th centuries, with pieces by artists such as Balla, Severini, and De Chirico. You can see how Italian art evolved through different movements and creative periods.
The museum sits near Turin's city center and offers wheelchair accessibility throughout its spaces. Plan to spend several hours exploring the collections across the different levels.
In 2009, the museum reorganized its display from chronological order to thematic groupings. This shift lets visitors connect artworks through shared ideas rather than just following a timeline.
