Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (GAMeC)
Historic Brescia gallery of modern and contemporary art
The Galleria d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea (GAMeC) in Brescia is a dynamic center for modern and contemporary art, housed in the historic Palazzo della Ragione. The museum currently offers visitors a diverse range of exhibitions and installations. Notable current displays include Tabula Plena, an installation by Fosbury Architecture and Claire Fontaine located in the Sala delle Capriate at Palazzo della Ragione, and Eau, the first solo exhibition in an Italian institution by Angolan-Portuguese artist Ana Silva, presented at GAMeC Spazio Zero.
The museum is generally open daily from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm, with extended hours until 8:00 pm at Palazzo della Ragione during certain periods. Specific closures occur on December 24, 25, and 30, and the museum may close temporarily for exhibition changes, such as the recent closure for the dismantling of the Atelier dell’Errore exhibition. During the holiday season from December 26 to January 6, the museum remains open daily.
GAMeC also engages the public through various programs, including Selma Selman – 1000 Tears, A Practice of Freedom, and the GAMeC Prize Giuseppe Casarotto. A new GAMeC app has been launched to enhance the visitor experience.
