The Great Museums of the World.
The most authoritative scholars, the spectacular iconography.

Opened only in 1941, it has soon became one of the first museums in the world in terms of choice and excellent quality of paintings. Giotto, Duccio, Beato Angelico, Botticelli, Tiziano, Tintoretto, Raffaello, and Leonardo; El Greco, Velázquez, and Goya; van Eyck, Memling, Rubens, van Dyck, Rembrandt, and Vermeer; Poussin, Watteau, and Fragonard are just some of the great names here present with works of exceptional quality. Moreover, the museum assumes a specific importance with regard to American painting of the 18th and 19th century and especially of the Contemporary art, here represented by fundamental works by Picasso, Matisse, Mondrian, Modigliani, Warhol, Pollock, Léger, Klimt, Kandinskij, and by the representatives of all the most modern international artistic trends.
