The MUSMA is the Museum of Contemporary Sculpture in one of the oldest cities in the world: Matera. It is located in an imposing historic building in the Sassi, the seventeenth-century Palazzo Pomarici, built on the ruins of a Dominican convent from the 1200s. The visit path winds through a space of about 2000 square meters, divided into ten rooms, once the residence of the Pomarici family, and seven caves, formerly used as stables, cellars, and warehouses. The alternation of contrast and harmony between modern and contemporary sculptures and the environments carved into the rock of the Sassi is very evocative. Over 200 works tell a century of Italian and international sculpture: sculptures from the historical core of the collection (from Medardo Rosso to Arturo Martini, from Duilio Cambellotti to Antonietta Raphäel), works set up in accordance with the peculiar structure of the museum (from David Hare to Carlo Bernardini, from Kishida Katsuji to Maria Lai) and site-specific installations, designed and created by artists for these unique spaces in the world (from Eliseo Mattiacci to Luis Gomez de Teran, from Saverio Todaro to Sandra Hauser). All the works are donated to the Zetema Foundation of Matera, the promoting body of the project. The numerous educational activities, collaborations with other cultural institutions, meetings between artists and communities, concerts, book presentations have made MUSMA over the years a reference point for the territory, an essential place for sharing and exchanging knowledge and expertise, open to current issues and the needs of a rapidly changing world.
