MART – Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art
Mart Rovereto
An important modern and contemporary art museum in Italy designed by Mario Botta, with collections of Futurist and 20th-century Italian art and a distinctive domed atrium.
MART is in Rovereto, about 25 km south of Trento. Its new building, completed in 2002 and designed by Swiss architect Mario Botta, leads from the entrance into a circular glass-domed atrium 40 m in diameter. The permanent collection focuses on 20th-century Italian art and is especially rich in Futurist works, including pieces by Depero, Morandi, and de Chirico. The city also has a Depero Futurist House branch. The temporary exhibitions are of high quality. Admission costs about €15, and the museum is closed on Mondays. Take the train from Trento to Rovereto in about 15 minutes, then walk about 10 minutes.
