Mario Rimoldi Modern Art Museum

The Mario Rimoldi Museum for Modern Art is a museum dedicated to Italian twentieth-century art located in Cortina d'Ampezzo in the Alps. The collection contains approximately 364 paintings, sculptures, and other works spanning several decades of modernist and figurative traditions.

The collection was first assembled and displayed in 1941, then acquired through a major donation in 1974 that led to the museum opening. This institutional founding transformed the way the community preserved and shared access to twentieth-century Italian art.

The collection represents how Italian artists of the early-to-mid twentieth century explored modernist movements, and the works on display reflect the tastes and interests of collectors who valued this period. Visitors encounter painting and sculpture styles that shaped European art discourse during a transformative era.

The museum operates on split hours across the week, closing during midday, so plan your visit to match these time blocks. Since it sits in a mountain town, weather conditions and road access may vary by season, which is worth checking before traveling there.

The institution is managed as part of a group of three museums run by the local governing body, alongside paleontological and ethnographic collections in the same area. This arrangement allows visitors to experience different angles on regional heritage and Italian cultural history within a compact geographic zone.
