It is the first Italian institution created from the outset with the aim of presenting, collecting, documenting and supporting research in the visual arts, cinema, music, performing arts, architecture, design, fashion and literature, as expressions of the contemporary world that put people in touch with the major themes of life and our society.

Since the opening of the facility in 1988, it thas produced and hosted over 250 exhibitions and project, organizing special events and educational initiatives for students and adults. It has also assembled a collection of over 1000 works that map artistic trends from the 1960s to the present.

Andy Warhol, Aleksandra Mir, Vito Acconci, Sol LeWitt, Anish Kapoor, Mario Merz, Jannis Kounellis, VALIE EXPORT, Bruno Munari, Massimo Bartolini, Thomas Hirschhorn, Jan Fabre: these are just a few of the great contemporary artists in the collection of the museum.

The complex that houses the center, designed by the rationalist architect Italo Gamberini and expanded in 2016 by Arch. Maurice Nio, is a city in the city: 3000 square meters of exhibition space, an archive, 60,000 items in the CID/Arti Visive specialized library, an auditorium-cinema, a bookshop, restaurant, bistro and outdoor theater.

The Gala Dinner will be hosted by Officina Giovani

Starting in 1999, the former public Slaughterhouses were excluded from possible real-estate development as a result of the choice of turning them into a focal centre for youth policies, maintaining their public character, and favouring participatory governance of the organization.

An important aspect in this refurbishing work is the fact that the original appearance of the building has been preserved, mantaining both the small tile floor and the system of hooks and pulleys. In the following years, various interventions took place on the various buildings in which theater spaces and concert events, places of dissemination and exhibition, points of cultural exchange and study gradually developed.
