After being diving into the wonder of ancient Rome for some time, it was actually rather refreshing to visit MAXXI, the National Museum of Contemporary Art and Architecture (Il MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo) where we enjoyed this major architectural work. MAXXI was built in 2009 and is designed by the Iraqi-British architect Zaha Hadid, featuring both innovative and spectacular forms.

“I see the MAXXI as an immersive urban environment for the exchange of ideas, feeding the cultural vitality of the city”.
