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
The section of Sacred Art consists of a core of works, paintings on canvas, on panel, sculptures, wooden and stone artifacts, coming from the churches of the regional territory that have lost their original location or that, taken for restoration interventions, are temporarily exhibited to document the activity of protection, safeguarding, and enhancement carried out by the Superintendency for Historical Artistic and Ethno-Anthropological Heritage in the territory and to tell the history and figurative art of Basilicata.
Collecting
The Collecting section displays a selection of paintings from the Camillo d’Errico di Palazzo San Gervasio collection, an important testimony to nineteenth-century private collecting in Basilicata that includes over three hundred canvases of the Neapolitan school from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, among which are masterpieces by outstanding artists in the figurative culture landscape of these centuries.
Contemporary Art
The Contemporary Art section features works by Carlo Levi (Turin 1902- Rome 1975), a distinguished figure of twentieth-century Italian culture, including the large painting ‘Lucania ’61’ created for the exhibition ‘Italy 1961’, organized in Turin to celebrate the Centenary of the Unification of Italy, and a selection from the 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 Service Quality Charter.
