The MAXXI - National Museum of 21st Century Arts is located in Rome and is dedicated to contemporary creativity. 

Inaugurated in May 2010, the MAXXI is managed by a private foundation established by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities. In 2013, it was also recognized as a private research institution. 

Conceived as a large cultural center, the MAXXI was designed by Zaha Hadid, winner of an international competition, and is a large-scale architectural work with innovative and spectacular forms in the heart of Rome. 

The museum produces and hosts exhibitions on art, architecture, design, and photography, as well as projects on fashion, cinema, music, theater and dance performances, conferences, and meetings with artists, architects, and prominent figures of our time. 

The MAXXI is much more than a museum: it is a platform for all forms of creativity and a place for meeting and collaboration, an open space for everyone, a laboratory for the future.
