In "Disposizioni Generali e altri contenuti" è stato pubblicato il progetto di Codice etico della Fondazione MAXXI
The Architectural project
The MAXXI design goes beyond the concept of the building-museum. The complexity of the volumes, the curving walls, the variations and intersections of the levels determine a very rich spatial and functional configuration that visitors may pass through via ever different and unexpected routes.
Entertain at MAXXI
The Museum's spectacular Lobby and the Auditorium can host: conferences, corporate meetings and presentations, film screening, private dinners and cocktail receptions.
attività educative
Didactic activities with the objective of making the museum a familiar and dynamic space, a place for meeting as well as learning
Designed for audiences of different ages and requirements, from the youngest to the eldest, from the merely curious to experts in the sector, the museum intends to provide the necessary tools for active and participatory interpretation of contemporary themes.
Architectures of light
Workshop on the technique of oxidations presenting the MAXXI architecture on the basis of light
