Museo all'aperto Bilotti, Modern art museum on Corso Mazzini, Cosenza, Italy
Description
The Museo all'aperto Bilotti is a modern art museum featuring sculptures displayed along Corso Mazzini in central Cosenza. The works from the 20th century are permanently installed within the pedestrian shopping area of the city center.
History
The museum was established in 2006 when collectors Carlo and Enzo Bilotti donated their art collection to the Cosenza municipal government. This gift transformed a major city street into a permanent open-air exhibition space.
Culture
The museum is named after Carlo and Enzo Bilotti, the collectors whose passion shaped this open-air gallery. The artworks sit naturally within everyday street life, blurring the boundary between formal museum space and public square.
Practical
The outdoor museum is located in the city center and accessible year-round without admission fees or visiting hours. Wear comfortable shoes as viewing all the works involves a leisurely walk through the pedestrian zone.
