3MAXXI

The futuristic concrete and glass walls of the MAXXI provide a fitting home for Italy’s National Museum of 21st Century Art. The building was created by legendary architect Zaha Hadid, who won a competition to design the museum. Swooshing staircases and bent metal tubes give the MAXXI an almost half-finished contemporary appeal that is unique in a city of medieval palazzi.

Set in the upscale Flaminio area, the modern focus of the museum draws an eclectic crowd of creatives to explore its two “MAXXI art” and “MAXXI architecture” collections. Most exciting are the large-scale installations of glass and steel, which flow with the dynamics of the already gorgeous construction.
