MAGI900 museum

The MAGI900 museum consists of three exhibition buildings: a grain silo recovered in 2000, a second extension in 2005, a third extension in 2015.

The new wing of the museum consists of a large building with three floors above ground and a large panoramic terrace.

The volume, with a simple and compact shape, houses on the ground floor the collection of works dedicated to Africa and South America; stand out the great Italian-African sculptures made in Kenya, the works of the Malindi Art Biennale, the paintings of Esther Mahlangu, a leading figure in the African visual arts whose works are exhibited in major museums around the world; The paintings, sculptures and ceramics of Cesare Siviglia are also exhibited, an artist whose production is inspired by pre-Columbian art.

On the first floor of the new wing, instead, contemporary aniconic art is exhibited, while the last level is entirely dedicated to contemporary figurative art and new realisms.

The wing of the great masters and collections is housed in a second six-level building, built in 2005 as an extension of the historic site of the old silo. This wing of the MAGI900 is also organized by thematic rooms and is dedicated to the great Italian masters of the twentieth century - including Boldini, Burri, Depero, De Chirico, Carrà, Fontana, Modigliani and numerous collections. Among these stand out the collection of minimal works 8X10 by the director Cesare Zavattini, the sections dedicated to the artistic movements The abstract present, Visual Poetry, Metacosa and Madì, the collections on Nado Canuti, Carlo Levi, Josè Ortega, Concepts Pozzati, Mauro Reggiani, Riccardo Ricas, Sergio Vacchi and Tono Zancanaro, the Susmel collection on the art of the Ventennio, the section on the performance created at MAGI900 by the Japanese artist Shozo Shimamoto, the one dedicated to the Man of Peace.

The historic wing - the blue silo transformed into a museum in 2000 on a project by the architect Giuseppe Davanzo - hosts temporary exhibitions, events, conferences and activities with schools and for teaching, as well as the sculpture garden with monumental works by Nado Canuti, Simon Benetton, Umberto Mastroianni, Mirko, Graziano Pompili and other contemporary Italian authors.
