Founded in 1883 and housed since 1915 in Cesare Bazzani's monumental Palazzo delle Belle Arti on the edge of Villa Borghese, La Galleria Nazionale holds Italy's most comprehensive collection of modern and contemporary art. Around 20,000 paintings, sculptures, drawings and installations span two centuries, from Neoclassicism, the Macchiaioli and Divisionism through Futurism, Impressionism and the historical avant-gardes to Arte Povera, Pop Art and the present day. Star works include Canova's colossal Hercules and Lichas, Klimt's The Three Ages of Woman and Van Gogh's The Gardener, shown alongside an ambitious programme of temporary exhibitions.
