Museo d'arte contemporanea di Gibellina

The Museo d'arte contemporanea di Gibellina is a contemporary art museum in a rebuilt village in Sicily holding over 400 artworks across eight sections. The collection represents one of the largest assemblies of modern art in Southern Italy.

The museum was established after the 1968 earthquake destroyed the region, prompting Mayor Ludovico Corrao to rebuild the village through art. The project formed part of a broader initiative to revitalize the community through cultural investment.

The collection presents works by artists from the region whose pieces reflect the community's deep ties to nature and resilience. Visitors can observe how these artistic expressions have shaped the character of this place over time.

The museum is open daily except Mondays and visitors can explore the collection during morning and afternoon time slots. It is worth checking current opening hours before your visit as times may vary seasonally.

The museum sits in Gibellina, a village renowned for its bold art-driven reconstruction project, and visitors can observe how the entire village functions as an extended artistic space. This fusion extends beyond the building itself, making the surrounding streets and squares part of the viewing experience.
