The Museum of Mediterranean Textures explores, researches, and exhibits the connections between the cultures of the peoples of the Mediterranean through the forms and decorations of ceramics, jewelry, textiles, and costumes in artistic production.

The Museum also houses one of the most important collections of contemporary art in Italy, a testament to the contribution that artists from around the world have made to the reconstruction of the city of Gibellina after the earthquake that destroyed it in '68.

The Baglio Di Stefano, home of the Museum, in the ancient Granary, exhibits the works of the Forma 1 group with the works of Carla Accardi, Dorazio, Sanfilippo, Turcato, and Consagra; of the Piazza del Popolo group, with Schifano, Angeli, Tano Festa, and Mambor; of artists from the last decades Boetti, Scialoja, Germanà, Nunzio, Genovese, Matta, Emilio Isgrò, and Luca Patella with some charismatic presences like Beuys.

Also on display are works by artists from the Mediterranean area including Hakim Abbaci, Nja Mahdaoui, Moussa Traore, and the Flying Carpet, an installation by the Stalker Group. In the outdoor spaces are placed The mountain of salt by Mimmo Paladino, Circle of Life by Richard Long, and installations by Alfredo Romano, Peter Briggs, Francesco Arecco, Michele Cossyro, Ben Jakober, Salvatore Cuschera.
