Museum of Contemporary Photography

The Museum of Contemporary Photography is located in the south wing of Villa Ghirlanda Silva and displays collections of modern photographic works along with rotating exhibitions. The space showcases a wide range of photography from different periods and artistic movements.

The museum was founded in 2004 and operates within a 17th-century villa that was originally built for the Silva family. The location combines historical architecture with contemporary art presentation.

The museum displays works by Italian and international photographers that show different perspectives and techniques in contemporary photography. The exhibitions allow visitors to understand how photography has evolved as an artistic medium over time.

The museum is open in the afternoons on weekdays and during daytime hours on weekends, with full wheelchair accessibility throughout the space. It is helpful to check the exact opening times before planning your visit.

The museum uses the historic setting of a Baroque villa, creating an unexpected contrast between old architecture and modern photography. This juxtaposition allows visitors to experience contemporary art forms within a classical context.
