Among paintings, sculptures, drawings and installations, the works in the collection are an expression of the main artistic currents of the last two centuries, from Neoclassicism to Impressionism, from Divisionism to the historical avant-gardes of the early twentieth century, from Futurism and Surrealism, to the most conspicuous nucleus of works of Italian art between the 1920s and 1940s, from the Novecento movement to the so-called Scuola Romana.
Another important nucleus is made up of works from the informal period after World War II, those of Pop Art and Arte Povera and numerous artists of our time.

Our collections
Time is Out of Joint, the current arrangement of the collections conceived as an exhibition on the theme of time, goes beyond the usual chronological trace and branches off into simultaneous paths in which the works are juxtaposed by assonances, contrasts, references and quotations.
Together with the great names of the history of art, the works of contemporary Italian and foreign artists allow an opening of the gaze to different or unexpected stimuli and suggestions. Rereading the works in situations other than those in which they had originally formed, the prospects and readings are multiplied.
With works of Antonio Canova, Alexander Calder, Giacomo Balla, Alighiero Boetti, Alberto Burri, Giuseppe Capogrossi, Felice Casorati, Carlo Carrà, Paul Cézanne, Sandro Chia, Giorgio De Chirico, Francesco Clemente, Edgar Degas, Marcel Duchamp, Lucio Fontana, Alberto Giacometti, Renato Guttuso, Francesco Hayez, Vasilij Kandinskij, Gustav Klimt, Gustave Courbet, Joseph Kosuth, Jannis Kounellis, Leoncillo Leonardi, René Magritte, Joan Miró, Amedeo Modigliani, Piet Mondrian, Claude Monet, Henry Moore, Giorgio Morandi, Liliana Moro, Robert Morris, Gastone Novelli, Pino Pascali, Giuseppe Pellizza, Giuseppe Penone, Michelangelo Pistoletto, Auguste Rodin, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Giulio Aristide Sartorio, Mario Schifano, Giovanni Segantini, Giuseppe Sironi, Cy Twombly, Vincent van Gogh, Emilio Vedova, Andy Warhol and Adolfo Wildt.

The National Gallery naturally experiences continuous phases of transformation and renewal, also in light of the new experiences and critical readings that over time become necessary. It therefore places itself as a place of meeting, research and discovery, inviting reflection on contemporary exhibition languages and practices, on what the role of the museum is in our present, and on what common bases this may be to create relations with its public.

The temporary exhibitions
Capogrossi. Behind the scenes
The fiftieth anniversary of the death of Giuseppe Capogrossi (Rome, 7 March 1900 - 9 October 1972) is an important occasion to celebrate one of the fathers of informal painting and Italian art of the twentieth century.
The exhibition at the National Gallery, curated by Francesca Romana Morelli, brings Capogrossi's work back to Rome after more than 20 years, starting the initiatives in homage to the artist for this anniversary in the context of a project entitled Capogrossi. The sign in Italian museums and institutions, on the initiative of the President of the Guglielmo Capogrossi Foundation.
Chiara Bettazzi. Surplace
The exhibition in the Corridoio del Bazzani

The 36 photographic works on display, coming from the series Still Life (2020), A tutti gli effetti (2021), Aste (2021) Equilibri precari. Elevazioni (2022), are all united by a point of origin shared also with the artist's installation practice, and represented by the large plastic and heterogeneous agglomerations of objects and fragments of affectionate objects that carry with them the memory and the stratifications of the lived.
Surplace – which from the title evokes a certain idea of immobility, interruption, suspension – subverts the internal logic of the individual photographic series and presents them as a constellation that expands into the space of the Galleria Nazionale and requires the viewer to "arm" their gaze, so that what appears to be a single multitude can reveal itself in its infinite variations.
Fabrizio Clerici. L’atlante del meraviglioso
The exhibition in Sala Aldrovandi
The exhibition Fabrizio Clerici. L’atlante del meraviglioso, curated by Giulia Tulino, is a journey into the imagination of a great protagonist of twentieth-century Italian art, a refined painter, set designer and illustrator incomparable in his capacity for visionary and limitless inventiveness.

An extremely cultured artist with encyclopedic curiosity, Clerici has given life to dreamlike and enigmatic universes full of charm, springing from a boundless fantasy and nourished by classical culture and myth, but also by the movements of his unconscious.
