Museo all'aperto Bilotti, Modern art museum on Corso Mazzini, Cosenza, Italy
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.
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.
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.
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.
Salvador Dali's bronze sculpture 'Saint George and the Dragon' stands as one of the collection's most recognizable works in a public setting. The piece showcases Dali's distinctive surrealist approach where visitors can view it freely without barriers.
