The exhibition, curated by Luigi Gallo, Anna Maria Ambrosini Massari and Yuri Primarosa and organized in collaboration with the Gallerie Nazionali Barberini Corsini in Rome, illustrates the fully modern flair of the young Simone Cantarini through a selection of 56 paintings. Born in Pesaro in 1612 and who died prematurely in 1648 under mysterious circumstances, Simone Cantarini-the greatest Marche painter of the 17th century-is celebrated 28 years after the memorable exhibition organized in Bologna by Andrea Emiliani. The exhibition aims to present the public with a rich selection of works by the Pesarese, whose pictorial corpus - which has grown considerably - will be further augmented for the occasion by unpublished works from public and...

Contextualized in a historical moment of change in Mexico, Dichotomies of Power invites the visitor's interpretive capacity to immerse himself in three dimensions of the representation of power: The first, real and represented by the smelting room, which summarizes the long extinct colonial tradition of coin production - the most widely used way of representing the economic power of a nation. The second, symbolic and represented by the pyramids, which refers to the ancestral "power", symbol of universal power in different cultures of the world. The third, imagined and represented by the artisanal technique of paste with newspapers, which embodies the last analogous witness of power in modern times of information. Rafael Gamo The inst...

Museums evoke in people a sense of knowledge, encounters with works that have something to say within themselves, the narration of a fable, an emotional state or perhaps a cause caused by an experience in a moment of time and space.Gërmia Museum of Contemporary Art was designed under the ideas of preserving the integrity of the building.

The Himalayas Museum was designed to be situated within the existing Himalayas Centre designed by Arata Isozaki. As a “found” space — a raw unfinished concrete interior with soaring 15m ceilings — it had a particular power and resonance with the field of contemporary art. Thus it was decided that, rather than obscuring this construction, three “rocks” housing the museum’s tripartite program of contemporary art, classical art, and education, could be situated within the existing structure, thereby creating a tension between new and old, inside and outside, raw and refined.​ Caption The centre of the space was reserved for large scale installations. The “lecture” rock, facing this sp... More

The MNHA is located in the oldest quarter of the city of Luxembourg, where the historical architecture is part of the national heritage. Lukas Roth, Cologne Up to 1997, the museum was housed in a group of ancient buildings, whose limited surface was ill suited to the exhibition of new collections and to a modern approach to museography. It was therefore necessary to find a solution which would allow an extension from the 2100 m2 of the existing structure to the 4600 m2 required.  Lukas Roth, Cologne Christian Bauer and associates chose to maintain the historical area, with its harmonious proportions, as a contrast to the new part of the museum, which is characterised by a compact and pure form that does not interfere with t...

The histor y of the city of Katowice is closely tied with the themes of heavy industry and mining. They have left behind distinctive artificial landscapes, industrial complexes, and buildings and are anchored in the collective consciousness as an unmistakable cultural heritage endowing a sense of identity. The museum is located on the premises of the former “Warszawa mine,” directly adjacent to the city center. The design uses interventions that are nearly imperceptible from the outside and is based on the idea of creating an expansive museum with diverse offerings. Borrowing from, and as homage to the former function of the terrain, the spatial program was placed entirely below ground. Only the abstract glass cubes, which provide daylight... More
