GAM – Galleria Civica d’Arte Moderna e Contemporanea

The collections of the GAM - Turin's Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea comprise over 45,000 works from the 19th century to the present day, including paintings, sculptures, installations and photographs, a rich collection of drawings and engravings and one of Europe's most important collections of artists' films and videos. The museum preserves and exhibits both the works of the greatest artists of the Italian 19th century, such as Fontanesi, Fattori, Pellizza da Volpedo and Medardo Rosso, as well as those of the 20th century, including Morandi, Casorati, Martini and De Pisis, together with masterpieces of the international historical avant-garde, of which the museum presents important examples: from Marx Ernst to Paul Klee and Francis Picabia. The GAM also possesses works from the new post-World War II avant-gardes, with one of the most important collections of Arte Povera, including works by Paolini, Boetti, Anselmo, Merz, Zorio, Penone and Pistoletto, as well as the most current artistic production.

The GAM offers the public a rich programme: from major exhibitions by Italian and international artists to more contemporary research by younger artists.
A museum that curates and proposes new projects, conferences, meetings as well as collaborates with the world's most important museums and institutions. Alongside research and conservation, sharing and education are the main functions of a museum and one of the fundamental objectives of GAM Turin. The museum addresses as broad a public as possible and responds to their demands for knowledge through a rich calendar of guided tours, activities and workshops for schools, for young people, for people with disabilities, for adults and families, thanks to the work of the museum's Education Department, among the most accredited educational services of Italian museums.
