Exhibition Gallery or Palazzo delle Esposizioni is a gallery located in a beautiful neoclassical building and is dedicated exclusively to temporary exhibitions. Apart from the exhibition space there is also a cinema (139 seats), an auditorium (90 seats), a café and a bookshop.
The gallery is situated in a neoclassical building with more than 10,000 m2 reserved for the exhibition space, a cinema, an auditorium, a café, a restaurant, and a bookshop. The exhibitions are of temporary nature and usually a result of exchange with other international cultural institutions.
Before you decide to buy a ticket ask about the current exhibitions because sometimes the exhibition is so modest that it cannot be justified with the high price of tickets. Some exhibitions are rather specific and will not suit everyone’s taste.
