MUSMA - Museo della Scultura Contemporanea

Museum Matera, Italy

Contemporary art inside the caves MUSMA - Museo della Scultura Contemporanea

The MUSMA is the most important Italian museum entirely dedicated to sculpture. Inserted in the evocative setting of Palazzo Pomarici (16th century), it is the only "cave" museum in the world, where one experiences a perfect symbiosis between the sculptures and some of the most characteristic places sculpted in the Sassi of Matera. The museum spaces, in fact, cover not only the built-up areas of the Palace, but also the large excavated hypogea, where the vast collection of works of art is regenerated by the strength of the rocky environments. The visitor can therefore experience an ideal integration, of intense emotional impact, between the secular environments "excavated" by man and contemporary sculpture.
