Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina
The Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina, widely known as MADRE, is Naples’ leading institution for contemporary art, housed in the historic Palazzo Donnaregina in the heart of the old city. Opened in 2005 and redesigned by architect Álvaro Siza Vieira, the museum spans three floors of light‑filled galleries that host permanent works and site‑specific installations by major international artists. Its location along the Via dei Musei places it among Naples’ most important cultural landmarks, just steps from the Duomo and the Archaeological Museum. MADRE’s collection reflects the evolution of global contemporary art, while its ongoing projects foster experimentation and dialogue between artists and the city. The building’s blend of historic architecture and minimalist design creates a dynamic setting where Naples’ past and present meet through creativity.

Museo d’Arte Contemporanea Donnaregina, known as Madre, is housed in the 19th-century Palazzo Donnaregina at Via Luigi Settembrini 79 in Naples' historic center, along the "Via dei Musei" in the ancient San Lorenzo district. This contemporary art hub occupies three floors of the restored palace, named after the nearby medieval Monastery of Santa Maria Donnaregina, and provides access to the adjacent Gothic church of Donnaregina Vecchia. Nearby, the Duomo di Napoli cathedral rises just a short walk away, alongside the Museo Archeologico Nazionale with its Pompeian treasures, Accademia di Belle Arti galleries, and Piazza Donnaregina's baroque church, all amid vibrant old-town streets reachable by Metro Line 1 at Duomo station.
