Museo Arte Contemporanea in Cavalese

The Museum of Contemporary Art in Cavalese was inaugurated in 2001 in the historic Palazzo Rizzoli, an ancient noble residence which has served various functions and changed appearance frequently over time. The building is composed of various sections differing in terms of construction period, style and architectural elements.

From its foundation until 2008, the museum housed permanent exhibitions on contemporary art works, such as a valuable section devoted to the works of the well-known artist Bruno Munari. Since then, the museum organises temporary solo and group exhibitions, as well as several cultural events, with the aim of shining a light on the relationship between humans and mountains. The latter focuses on handing down past traditions to future generations, while equally embracing and promoting the never-stopping evolution of new and modern artistic currents.

Besides the exhibitions, educational activities tailored for children, teenagers, schools and families, as well as workshops for adults play an essential role too, as they encourage curiosity through multiple art forms.
