Istituto centrale per la grafica

The Istituto centrale per la grafica is an art museum in Rome focused on prints, drawings, and graphic works housed in two historic palaces. The collections contain thousands of works showing different graphic techniques and media.

The institute was created in 1978 when the Italian government merged two separate graphic collections and housed them in this palace building. This step brought together major national collections under one roof.

The institute preserves an important collection of prints, drawings, and photographs that show how artists have worked with graphic techniques across centuries. Visitors can see here how these different media have shaped art history.

The museum is located in a palace building and is open at different times on different days, so it is useful to check ahead. The location is central, but it is advisable to verify the exact opening window before your visit to avoid queues or disappointment.

The institute operates functional graphic workshops where visitors can directly observe traditional printing techniques and restoration work in progress. These workshops demonstrate how traditional graphic processes are still practiced today.
