MAXXI L'Aquila Museum opens its doors

After Rome, the MAXXI National Museum of 21st Century Arts has a new home in L'Aquila (in the Abruzzo region), which opened its doors to the public on May 28th. A research centre and a new hub of contemporary art and creativity, as well as a collaborative project between various national and international institutions which, through culture, aim to support the relaunch of a territory severely tested by the 2009 earthquake and, over the past year, by the Covid-19 pandemic. The Museum's inaugural exhibition entitled “POINT OF EQUILIBRIUM. Thought Space Light from Toyo Ito to Ettore Spalletti” presents eight new site-specific works, which dialogue with 60 iconic works from the MAXXI's permanent collection.
