Denominated also as a museum of new forms and new spaces, it is easy to understand the type of collection kept inside. The museum, in addition to the temporary exhibitions of modern and contemporary art works, was born as a point of excellence for the setting up of photographic exhibitions, film forums, shows, 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 Leonardo’s Codices drawings). The building in which the museum has been set up is one of the most modern complexes dedicated to art in the area. The museum is composed of eight exhibition rooms which in turn are divided over two floors: on the ground floor, the Tokyo room and an internet cafe; on the upper floor, the Laboratory of thoughts and the Belvedere of arts and sciences. The museum has a total area of about 2,500 sqm.
