Maxxi Contemporary Museum in Rome | Rome 2011 New Art Exhibitons | 2011 Italy Art Lovers

Rome offers art lovers visiting Rome in 2011 a remarkable list of art exhibitions ranging from Van Gogh to Italian contemporary artists, from Palazzo Farnese Renaissance art to futurist artist Pablo Echaurren via Teotihuacan City of Gods at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni and the Golden treasures from Dacia on loan from the Romanian History Museums at the Imperial Fora museum.

MAXXI Museum of the 21st Century | Italian Contemporary Art | Nervi at the MAXXI

The MAXXI museum is a stunning piece of architecture and an amazing venue for exhibitions of contemporary art but it is also a place to experiment innovative visual and linguistic forms of art. Until March 20th 2011 Maxxi hosts an exhibition of works by the 4 finalists of the Italian Contemporary Art Award. These four young Italian artists bring to life with their art recent Italian events from the so called "anni di piombo" in the 1970′ to the current immigration concerns offering the opportunity to discover some of the new creative talents of the under 40′s generation.

Until March 20th 2011 the Maxxi Museum dedicates a deepened show to Italian architect and engineer Pier Luigi Nervi focusing on Nervi's works for the 1960 Rome Olympics. Out of curiosity do not miss the nearby Corso Francia Bridge designed by Nervi in the late 50′ best viewed from the nearby Ponte Milvio Bridge.

Alongside these works the museum is inaugurating a new archive project to document and promote the materials preserved in the collections of MAXXI Architecture that will be made available on-line in the Study Room of the Central Archives.
If you need any additional reason to visit the Maxxi Museum in Rome just consider that the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona just declared Zaha Hadid Architects' MAXXI "Building of the Year 2010" defined by the jury of the WAF as an "Unwound Guggenheim".
Eat, drink and relax in/around the Maxxi Museum in Rome
Foodies visiting the Maxxi after a tour of the museum should head straight to the nearby Ponte Milvio district ( Facebook Slide Show ) just across the river Tiber to enjoy a tasty thin crust pizza at Il Grappolo d'oro, a cheese platter paired with a glass of wine at Peccati di Gola or just a great simple sandwich at Gondi's.
