Galleria d’Arte Moderna is a public modern art museum on Via Francesco Crispi, near Via Veneto. Its collection spans the mid-19th century to contemporary art, with a strong focus on Roman and Italian artists alongside works by international names such as Picasso and Mondrian. Paintings, sculpture, graphics and photography fill a series of rooms in a former convent. The intimate setting gives you space to look closely. Check the exhibition programme before your visit, as displays change. This is a separate, smaller museum from the National Gallery of Modern Art near Villa Borghese.
A collection centred on Roman art
The museum’s collection grew from the city’s support for artistic production from 1900 onward. Roman artists remain central to its holdings, alongside work from elsewhere. The collection covers the 19th and 20th centuries, with displays that place art from different periods in adjoining rooms.
Artists represented include Carrà, de Chirico, Scipione, Sartorio, Severini and Carlo Levi. Picasso and Mondrian are among the international names visitors may encounter. The collection includes paintings, sculptures, graphic works and photography.
A former convent near Via Veneto
The gallery occupies a former convent of the Discalced Carmelites on Via Francesco Crispi, near Via Veneto. Its rooms form a relatively small, sometimes fragmented exhibition space. The setting is quiet, giving you time to look closely at individual works.
Temporary exhibitions can change which parts of the collection are on view. Check the programme before your visit, especially if you are coming to see a particular display. The restaurant in the building is a separate business, reached by going outside and around the building.
Do not confuse it with the national gallery
Galleria d’Arte Moderna is not the Galleria Nazionale d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, the larger museum near Villa Borghese. They are separate institutions, and admission to this gallery does not include entry to the national gallery. Check the name and address when planning your route or booking a ticket.
