MAXXI’s art and architecture collection

For the opening of the new art museum MAXXI in Rome designed by Zaha Hadid, 90 works from the museum's permanent collection will be exhibited along a single route winding inside and outside the museum in an open dialogue with the site-specific installations of ten international architectural studios.

Three works from the series Antarctic Village - No Borders by Lucy + Jorge Orta have been selected for this inaugural display and the visitor will be guided through an exploration of the complex concept of space understood in both the environmental senses, as a place of imagination and as a political and social dimension.
