Gallery of the National Academy of San Luca in Rome. Other works are placed in the Academic Rooms, Secretariat offices, the Conference Room, located on the main floor, as well as in the Academic Library, the Sarti Library, and the Historical Archive on the second floor.
The remaining part of the collections is kept in storage rooms located on the ground floor or along the helical ramp.
In October 2010, the Gallery, renovated according to a museological exhibition project developed by Angela Cipriani, Marisa Dalai Emiliani, Pia Vivarelli (who passed away in 2008) in their roles as Superintendents of the Gallery and Academic Collections, reopened to the public in nearly all its rooms.
The new layout was designed, in collaboration with the academic architect Francesco Cellini, following the latest criteria, using the same exhibition order to effectively and immediately convey the very idea of the Academy over the centuries.
The restoration of painting and sculpture works, necessitated by the long period of storage, was entrusted to Fabio Porzio, alongside the now customary research workshop on restoration methods, also directed by Fabio Porzio, particularly interesting due to the variety of materials and the richness of related issues. Furthermore, archival documents were reviewed to reconstruct the historical and current scope of the academic collections.
