MACRO: Museo di Arte Contemporanea di Roma
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
Another Roman museum of contemporary art in the making - Museo d'Arte Contemporanea Roma. In 1999 the first phase of the construction was completed by converting the former building of the Peroni beer brewery. The ongoing conversion and reconstruction of the adjacent block of buildings is carried out according to the project by the French architect Odile Decq and will result in expansion of the existing premises of MACRo by another 10 000 km² of space allotted to exhibitions, video art and other projects.
MACRO al Mattatoio or "MACRO at the abattoir": an affiliated establishment of MACRO, dedicated to new, experimental art and cultural activities, housed on the premises of the former Testaccio slaughterhouse. The hours are also quite convenient: from late afternoon - 4 pm - to midnight when the local nightclubs, jazz clubs and discos surrounding Monte Testaccio are one by one starting to open their door to the public. A proper Latvian may well feel somewhat shocked by the environment, but then again... Roma cosí.
