Gagosian's Rome outpost opened in 2007 as the international mega-gallery's first space in continental Europe, inaugurated with new works by Cy Twombly. Set in a 1921 former bank between Piazza di Spagna and Via Veneto, the gallery was reimagined by Roman architect Firouz Galdo with Caruso St John, who turned the main hall into a luminous skylit oval room. Its rotating program brings major modern and contemporary artists to the heart of historic Rome. Admission is free.
