Galleria dell’accademia nazionale di San Luca di Roma. Other works are placed in the Academic Halls, in the Secretariat offices, in the Conference room, located on the main floor, as well as in the Academic Library, the Sarti Library, and the Historical Archive which are located 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 (deceased in 2008) as Superintendents of the Gallery and the Academic Collections, reopened to the public in almost all of its rooms.
The new setup was designed, in collaboration with the Academician architect Francesco Cellini, following the most updated criteria, using the same exhibition order to immediately and effectively convey the very idea of the Academy over the centuries.
The restoration of painting and sculpture works, made necessary by the long past period of storage of the works, entrusted to the care of Fabio Porzio, was accompanied by the now usual research laboratory on restoration methods, also directed by Fabio Porzio, particularly interesting for the variety of materials and thus the richness of related issues. Additionally, a review of archival documents was carried out in order to reconstruct the historical and current consistency of the academic collections.
