Museum Structure
Glass Pagoda
Once a large industrial complex built at the beginning of the 20th century, MACRO’s main site is now a dynamic centre of cultural activity.
The first phase of conversion was completed in September of 1999 and saw the opening of six large exhibition halls, a media library, library, conference hall, art studio, bookstore and café.
The site is also home to MACRO’s permanent collection and administrative offices.
Open to the public all year and six days a week, MACRO’s main site is a point of reference for Rome’s contemporary art community.
