MADRE

TIME : 2016/2/18 20:55:46

When Madonna and Child overload hits, reboot at Naples' museum of modern and contemporary art. Start on level three – the setting for temporary exhibitions – before hitting level two's permanent collection of painting, sculpture and installations from prolific 20th- and 21st-century artists. Among these are Olafur Eliasson, Shirin Neshat and Julian Beck, as well as Italian heavyweights Mario Merz and Michelangelo Pistoletto. Specially commissioned installations from the likes of Francesco Clemente, Anish Kapoor and Rebecca Horn cap things off on level one.

MADRE hosts a number of special events, including occasional DJ sets and parties. Check the museum's Facebook page (in Italian) for updates.
