Also known as the museum of new forms and new spaces, it is easy to understand the type of collection preserved inside. The museum, in addition to temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art, was indeed created as a center of excellence for the staging of photographic exhibitions, film forums, performances, conferences, and book presentations. Among the artists who have exhibited their works at the museum are: Ivana Russo (Desert), Anna Romanello (Tentative d’évasion), Domenico Lo Russo (Science and Art), and The Time Machines (models of machines exactly reproduced from the drawings of Leonardo’s Codices). The building housing the museum is one of the most modern complexes dedicated to art in the area. The museum is composed of eight exhibition rooms, which are divided over two floors: on the ground floor, the Tokyo room and an internet café; on the upper floor, the Laboratory of Thoughts and the Belvedere of Arts and Sciences. The museum covers a total area of about 2,500 sqm.
