Il percorso espositivo del Nazionale d’Arte Medievale e Moderna della Basilicata, al primo piano del Palazzo si articola in tre sezioni: Sacred Art, Collecting e Contemporary Art.
Sacred Art
La sezione di Sacred Art si compone di un nucleo di opere, dipinti su tela, su tavola, sculture, manufatti lignei e lapidei, provenienti dalle chiese del territorio regionale che hanno perso l’originaria collocazione o che, prelevate per essere sottoposte ad interventi di restauro, vengono momentaneamente esposte, per documentare l’attività di tutela, salvaguardia e valorizzazione che la Soprintendenza per i Beni Storici Artistici ed Etnoantropologici svolge sul territorio e raccontare la storia e l’arte figurativa della Basilicata.
Collecting
The Collecting section displays a selection of paintings from the Camillo d’Errico collection of Palazzo San Gervasio, an important example of nineteenth-century private collecting in Basilicata that includes over three hundred canvases of the Neapolitan school from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including masterpieces by artists of excellence in the figurative culture of those centuries.
Contemporary Art
The section of Contemporary Art features works by Carlo Levi (Turin 1902 – Rome 1975), a prominent figure of 20th-century Italian culture, including the large canvas ‘Lucania ’61’ painted for the exhibition ‘Italy 1961’, organized in Turin to celebrate the centenary of the unification of Italy, and a selection of one hundred and fifty works by the Matera painter Luigi Guerricchio (Matera 1936-1996).
The National Museum of Medieval and Modern Art of Basilicata has adopted the Quality Charter of services.
