A huge museum for contemporary arts and architecture opens in Rome this weekend in a bid to draw avant-garde art lovers to a city defined by its ancient monuments and Baroque fountains.
The inaugural shows' highlight is "Space," an exhibit that takes visitors along a route of the eight video works by Turkish artist Kutlug Ataman, works by Anish Kapoor, Sol Lewitt and others, combined with installations by architecture studios. Mixing art and architecture, the show represents MAXXI's dual soul.
