"The National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome (Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea) is a museum located in the Villa Borghese gardens. It houses a vast collection of Italian and international art from the 19th and 20th centuries, including works by Balla, Boccioni, Modigliani, Picasso, and Van Gogh.
The museum was founded in 1883 and was originally housed in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni. In 1911, it was moved to its current location in the Villa Borghese. The museum has been expanded several times over the years and now occupies a total of 20,000 square meters.
The collection of the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art is divided into two main sections: the 19th century and the 20th century. The 19th century section includes works by Italian artists such as Giovanni Segantini, Francesco Hayez, and Giovanni Boldini. The 20th century section includes works by Italian artists such as Umberto Boccioni, Giacomo Balla, and Giorgio de Chirico, as well as international artists such as Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, and Henri Matisse.
The museum also has a collection of sculptures, including works by Auguste Rodin, Medardo Rosso, and Arturo Martini."

"I REALLY enjoyed this museum. I think its often overlooked by the Borghese Gallery close by, but do not sleep on this one! I found the collection refreshing compared to the at times overwhelming amounts of Renaissance/Bouroque/religious art covering the rest of the city. "

"While there are a ton of museums in Rome, The National Gallery of Modern Art is a great place to explore the other sides of the art world in Rome. The stairs outside the museum are a great photo backdrop and the museum is walking distance from Villa Borghese. "
