Located inside the Palazzo dell’Arengario, in Piazza del Duomo, this museum hosts a collection of over four thousand works that showcase the development of 20th-century Italian art.
This museum's permanent collection follows a chronological path where collective exhibitions alternate with solo art shows. The grand spiral staircase inside the building welcomes visitors and introduces them to the visit of the Museum with 'Il Quarto Stato' (The Fourth Estate) by Pellizza da Volpedo, the earliest pice dating back to 1902, while the 'Neon' by Lucio Fontana closes the exhibition in a third floor entirely devoted to this artist.
The permanent collection has works by Picasso, Braque, Paul Klee, Kandinsky, Modigliani, as well as a large selection of Futurism artworks by Boccioni, Balla or Severini. There are also pieces by Giorgio de Chirico, Tancredi, Piero Manzoni and exponents of Arte Povera among many others.
The museum also boasts a bookshop and restaurant and organises regular temporary exhibitions.
