Description
A Journey Through Art from Romanticism to the Present Day
There is a place in Turin where time flows differently, marked by the universal language of art. The Galleria Civica d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, known to everyone simply as the GAM, is much more than a museum: it is a continuous dialogue between eras, styles and worldviews.
Highlights
50,000+ artworks
One of Italy's largest modern art collections, covering paintings, sculptures, installations and more.
Pellizza da Volpedo and Medardo Rosso
Pillars of Italian art between the 19th and 20th centuries.
Chagall and Warhol
European and American 20th-century icons in the same museum.
Temporary exhibitions
Rotating exhibitions complement the permanent collection.
With a collection of over 50,000 works, the GAM holds masterpieces ranging from 19th-century Romanticism to the boldest contemporary avant-gardes. Pellizza da Volpedo, Medardo Rosso, Marc Chagall, Andy Warhol: names that alone tell the breadth and depth of this extraordinary heritage.
Visiting the GAM means immersing yourself in a route that surprises in every room, capable of moving both the experienced visitor and those approaching art for the first time. An authentic experience for just 10 euros, in the cultural heart of Turin.
Masterpieces without borders: from 19th-century painting to international Pop Art
Once through the entrance, you find yourself in a universe where every work tells a story. The rooms dedicated to 19th-century Italy welcome visitors with works of great emotional intensity, including those of the Divisionist Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo, who translated the social tensions of his time into light and colour.
The route then unfolds through the seasons of 20th-century Europe, with works by Medardo Rosso (an absolute pioneer of modern sculpture) and Marc Chagall, whose canvases suspended between dream and reality leave you speechless every time.
There are also forays into the world of American Pop Art: Andy Warhol's works find a perfect place here, in dialogue with contemporary European movements. A confrontation that stimulates unexpected reflections and ever-new readings.
The GAM also hosts high-level temporary exhibitions, alongside the permanent collection.
With an entrance ticket of 10 euros and an average rating of 4 out of 5, the GAM is an unmissable stop for anyone who wants to experience Turin beyond its famous chocolate and cinema museums.
