MartRovereto

Mart is the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto. It is located in northern Italy, and its main venue, opened in 2002, has been built by Mario Botta and Giulio Andreolli. Mart has produced more than 200 exhibitions and attracted 2 million visitors.

As an institution, Mart was founded in 1987. Since then, the museums collections have grown considerably thanks to careful acquisitions, important bequests and long-term loans.
Over 15,000 paintings, drawings, prints and sculptures today constitute Marts rich holdings. Some of the over 3,000 works by Fortunato Depero, donated by the artist to the town of Rovereto and today entrusted to the museum, constitute one of the most important sectors of Marts main site, together with the holdings of works by other Futurists, including Giacomo Balla, Francesco Cangiullo, Carlo Carrà, Luigi Russolo, Gino Severini, Enrico Prampolini, Thayaht and Tullio Crali.
