The National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art is the greatest Italian collection of modern art. It is located in Rome, in Via delle Belle Arti 113.
In front of the main entrance you can admire the immense green area of Villa Borghese, accessible by a long staircase, while on the right there is the Bioparco, one of the oldest zoos in Europe.
The Gallery houses a large collection of works of the 19th and 20th century, for a total of over 1000 paintings and sculputers, arranged in about 55 rooms.
The works belong to several artistic periods: from expressionism, cubism, futurism, to abstractionism and neo-plasticism.
They are mainly by Italian artists, among which Canova, Fattori, Ciardi, Corcos, Balla, De Chirico, De Pisis and Guttuso stand out.
There are also many notable works by foreign artists, such as Van Gogh, Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Klimt, Braque, Kandinskij, Mirò and Pollock. It takes at least two hours to tour all the museum, but you can have a rest in the cafè adjoining the Gallery, and take a seat at one of the tables in the shade of surrounding trees.
Thanks to its central position, the Gallery can be a good starting point to a daily tour of Rome (i would suggest to include in the daily tour Villa Borghese or Bioparco).
