#summervacay Beyond Rome's famous Vatican Museums and National Roman Museum, the MAXXI - National Museum of 21st Century Arts stands out as one of the city's few modern art museums. The building itself is a prime example of Zaha Hadid's iconic design style. Often, I find that a museum's architecture can be even more breathtaking than the art it houses, and this was definitely the case with MAXXI! It's truly stunning. Unfortunately, parts of the interior were under renovation during my visit, so I couldn't explore everything. What truly impressed me, however, was the museum's incredibly community-friendly environment. The plaza outside was bustling with children playing, residents walking their dogs, and people casually chatting and enjoying drinks. This kind of connection with the surrounding community creates a wonderful sense of inclusion, unlike many other museums that feel cold and distant in their grand isolation. I deeply appreciate how MAXXI brings art into the daily lives of ordinary people, fostering interaction rather than maintaining a detached, high-brow aloofness. It makes art feel accessible and integrated. Address: Via Guido Reni 4A, Rome Opening Hours: 11:00 AM - 8:00 PM If you're in Rome and looking for a modern art experience that feels fresh and connected, MAXXI is a must-visit!

#FritaviWinter Maria Rai Holding the Sun in Your Hands ・ MAXXI held a large-scale solo exhibition to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Maria Rai (1919-2013), one of the most unique artists in contemporary Italian art. ・ Before the latest research in relational art, I was most excited about this trip, as I would be able to see all the works of a great artist who created a language that can combine sensitivity, local traditions, and global norms. ・ This is my favorite piece. It looks like someone's letter or report. The threads that didn't fit stick out onto the next page or the page far below, which makes you feel the connection of the words. ・ National Museum of 21st Century Art (MAXXI) MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo Via Guido Reni, 4a, 00196 Roma RM 11:00-19:00

#contemporaryarchitecture The National Museum of 21st Century Art (MAXXI), Italy's first national contemporary art museum, is located in Rome and was designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Zaha Hadid! Inside the museum, there are many black staircases that stand out against the white walls. The black staircases are wavy and overlap irregularly, creating a floating feeling. The museum is led around by the black staircases. MAXXI is a museum that aims to introduce 21st century architecture and art, and it is interesting that the direction is divided into the architecture and art departments.
