About MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Arts
Designed by Zaha Hadid Architects and opened in 2010, MAXXI brings together two museums — MAXXI Art and MAXXI Architecture — under one curving concrete and steel roof.
Hadid's flowing galleries, ramps, and suspended staircases are themselves part of the experience.

Frequently Asked Questions
A small ask before you go

Preventable blindness, caused by conditions like cataracts and trachoma, affects people of all ages across the world's poorest communities. A small gift — for the cost of a museum ticket — can provide a simple surgery to restore someone's sight and transform their life.
