Best contemporary art galleries in the Eternal City.
We all know and love Rome as an ancient city, engrossed, even obsessed by the past. A closer look at the Renaissance palazzos and Imperial ruins will find you noticing street art on derelict walls and contemporary art galleries sprouting in the most unexpected of places. The constant forward movement of this creative community has a palpable energy which refuses to stagnate and has you chasing to keep up.

MACRO is considered a focal point for public contemporary art in Rome to which professionals, but also the public at large, turn for its schedule of exhibitions. MACRO, as a centre for contemporary art, however, aims to become increasingly multi-functional, maintaining its own local identity and strengthening the involvement of, and its ties with, the community in every possible artistic, cultural, and intellectual sphere.

The Mattatoio is a former slaughterhouse with pavilions built as far back as 1888. It is considered one of Rome’s most important industrial buildings, and the gallery shares the building with various art and architecture universities. The spaces are part of a complex that is at the center of a redevelopment plan that, by means of a strong and incisive vocation to research and artistic and cultural production, can reflect the city’s contemporaneity, record its developments, highlight it in relief and stimulate its evolution.
