E’ from September 1980 the establishment in Foggia of a Provincial Gallery of Modern Art, initially located in two narrow and poorly functional rooms on the ground floor of Palazzo Dogana. In the mid-eighties, there was still debate about the role the Gallery should assume in the city context, about the need for regulation of exhibition choices, about the expansion and adaptation of spaces and about the type of management. Inaugurated in 2003, the new Gallery of modern and contemporary art occupies about half of the ground floor of Palazzo Dogana, in rooms adequately renovated, according to modern museological needs, thanks to the POR 2000-2006 funds. The purpose of the Gallery is to document, especially with future acquisitions and its Archive, artistic activity in Capitanata between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, and to promote, with temporary exhibitions, the knowledge of the most advanced contemporary artistic research.
