Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome

About

The Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome (MACRO) is a dynamic cultural institution that showcases the evolution of Italian art from the 1960s to the present. Housed in a repurposed early 20th-century Peroni brewery in the Salario district, the museum seamlessly blends industrial heritage with contemporary design. A notable expansion by architect Odile Decq added sleek, modern elements, including a striking red and black interior, enhancing the museum's architectural appeal. MACRO's permanent collection features significant works from key Italian art movements such as Arte Povera, Forma 1, and the Scuola di Piazza del Popolo. Artists like Carla Accardi, Mario Ceroli, and Mario Schifano are among the notable figures represented . The museum also hosts rotating exhibitions, performances, and workshops, fostering an environment of continuous artistic exploration. With free admission, MACRO invites visitors to engage with contemporary art in an accessible and thought-provoking setting. Its location, combined with its innovative programming, makes it a must-visit destination for those interested in Rome's modern cultural landscape.
