MAXXI as you’ve never seen it before


MAXXI AS YOU’VE NEVER SEEN IT BEFORE
Guided visit – 4€ per person, free for holders of the my MAXXI membership card

When?
Every Saturday, 12.00

What’s involved?
A space fitted out with the large model, drawings and plans by Zaha Hadid Architects together with site videos and images recounting the story of the museum from its design to its construction. And available for consultation for the first time the albums of the working drawings.
Every Saturday (at 12.00) MAXXI is proposing its visitors guided visits to MAXXI’s “secret” spaces, its usually inaccessible areas, to discover the techniques and materials that made possible its realisation and to fully appreciate this fascinating building.

/Meeting point: the large-scale model of the museum
What is MAXXI? How does it fit together? How was it built? The site, the construction of the great building

//On the ramp leading to the exhibition galleries
The functioning of the museum machine, the materials, the technology

///In Gallery 4
The technical wall, the ventilation and climate control systems

////Access to the roof and the “scala a goccia”

The skylights, the grilles, natural light and artificial light
The tour then proceeds outside to examine the remarkable façade with the security staircases which is not usually accessible.
