The activities carried out by the Educational Services of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art are part of a long-standing tradition that the Gallery has developed over the decades. As early as the immediate post-World War II period, Palma Bucarelli, supported by Giulio Carlo Argan, envisioned this museum as a place of research, education, and experimentation, closely connected with schools and universities.
The proposed programs are based on a vision of art as a stimulus for learning, sensitivity, and both individual and collective creativity. They are aimed at all segments of the public, including families, children, young people, the elderly, and visitors with disabilities.
The museum is the place where this education comes to life, thanks to the presence of a rich collection of artworks and to the projects and events organized by the National Gallery. Works of art are tools for learning but, above all, serve as opportunities to open up spaces of knowledge and social life. The Educational Services engage all audiences with the aim of promoting the broadest possible inclusion and accessibility, in line with the mission of this public institution.
