Palermo's Modern Art Gallery is hosted by the exquisite Palazzo Bonet (located next to Saint Ann church) and exhibits artworks from the 19th and 20th Century.
It's a good opportunity to admire masterpieces from various modern art currents that alternated in Italy at the beginig of 20th Century, including Futurismo, Novecento, Arte Povera and Metaphisical Art among others. There's also a hall dedicated to Sicilian Novecento, for a more local flavor. The exhibition is well organized and starts in opera style with the dramatic painting "I Vespri Siciliani" by Erulio Eroli.
The gran-finale is ensured by masterpieces signed by Guttuso, Pippo Rizzo and Sironi.
The only downside during my visit was the lighting of the gallery, which was very poor in some of the halls, ironically in the ones displaying the bright Lojocano's landscapes.
Gallery's bookstore worth a visit as well.
Unfortunately they couldn't find a wheelchair for me or the key to where they were. Disappointing when they have them. So instead I decided to hobble round two floors. One room had no lighting working above the pictures but the rest were curated beautifully. Lots of info in English and Italian, sweet café in covered courtyard and shop full of books and eco friendly products. Lovely collection worth seeing and architecturally stunning church next door altho didn't go inside. Reception happy to call me a cab which came very quickly ☺️
Nice museum, but very rude staff , they make you feel like you're inconveniencing them just by being there. There was no toilet paper in one of the toilets and when my girlfriend asked a staff member for some she was told that there was no toilet paper in the whole museum.
Great place! Organized, clean and the exhibitions are held with all care. When I was there I was delighted to check a Leonardo da Vinci's very technological exhibit. If you have the chance, don't miss it.
Roomy and average collection. Good place to escape for a couple of hours. The café do great sandwiches and the service is top class.
