Collection

The Art Museum is a unique place for the discovery and study of art and the archaeology, rich with an extraordinary collection of Etruscan art in dialogue with works of modern and contemporary art, a journey through art from antiquity to the 21st century.

The Art Museum houses a vast collection, ranging from ancient artifacts—especially Etruscan and Italic—to the most recent expressions of contemporary art, including site-specific works commissioned from Italian and international artists for the museum’s galleries. In the exhibition spaces, which extend over 850 square meters, more than 250 works are on display.

A continuous and surprising dialogue between different artistic movements is a recurring element in the Art Museum, where objects are placed according to their themes and the emotions they evoke, rather than by following traditional chronological criteria.

The Collections Department coordinates and supervises study and research projects requiring the consultation of artifacts or works from the Foundation’s collections, providing the necessary scholarly expertise and assistance, both on site and remotely.

Fondazione Luigi Rovati is pleased to consider requests for the loan of works from its collection for exhibitions that enhance the knowledge and understanding of the themes addressed.

For these purposes, formal requests may be sent to: collezioni@fondazioneluigirovati.org.

The following is a selection of the works on display at the Art Museum.

In keeping with Fondazione Luigi Rovati's desire for experimentation, works and artifacts are frequently introduced into a collection that evolves over time to always offer new perspectives.
