Gallery of Modern Art in Turin!
Welcome to the GAM Museum of Turin!
First of all, you might be wondering: what does GAM stand for? The answer is “Galleria d’Arte Moderna” (Gallery of Modern Art).
GAM Museum of Turin offers a wide range of exhibitions featuring both Italian and international artists, with projects that also focus on the most current contemporary research. It’s an active museum, hosting and organizing debates, conferences, and multiple collaborations with museums and other national and international institutions, making it a museum that is always up-to-date and capable of offering ever-changing and exciting collections!
Just imagine, Turin was the first Italian city to promote a public collection of modern art, a collection that was inaugurated way back in 1863!
Today, the GAM – Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art houses around 45,000 works, including paintings, sculptures, installations, photographs, and an important archive of films and documentaries.
In addition to being a museum full of culture and charm, it is also located in one of the most upscale areas of the city. We are in the Crocetta district, one of the most renowned in the city.
It’s a neighborhood that is very close to the city center yet more immersed in greenery! If you want to stay near the city center but a bit more detached, this is the perfect place for you. Discover where to stay in Crocetta district!
