A new cultural institution is born in the heart of the capital. The Museo del Corso - Polo museale, promoted by Fondazione Roma, opens to the public, developed by merging two prestigious buildings of great historical and architectural value: Palazzo Sciarra Colonna and Palazzo Cipolla, both located along the iconic Via del Corso.

A new hub that enriches the city's cultural offer by proposing a wide program of temporary exhibitions dedicated to the great masters of world art, including Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dali. For the first time, one of the "four wonders of Rome" - as Palazzo Sciarra Colonna was known - opens its doors, free of charge, to the general public and reveals the treasures of its Permanent Collection, with works by artists who have marked the history of the capital from the fifteenth century to the present day, and unveils the unpublished documents of the historical Archive of Fondazione Roma, the historical documents of the Sacro Monte della Pietà and the Cassa di Risparmio di Roma.

To inaugurate the Museo del Corso - Polo museale will be one of the most anticipated artistic events of the Jubilee: the famous painting La crocifissione bianca, a masterpiece by Marc Chagall, on display at Palazzo Cipolla from November 27, 2024, to January 27, 2025, with free admission. The work, coming from the Art Institute of Chicago, arrives for the first time in Rome thanks to the collaboration between the Dicastery for Evangelization, the Pro-Prefect H.E. Mons. Salvatore Fisichella and Fondazione Roma, representing a moment of great symbolic significance for the Jubilee, offering a message of hope and unity among religious cultures. Created by the Russian painter of Jewish origin in 1938, after the tragic events of Kristallnacht on November 9 and 10, the work has also been greatly appreciated by Pope Francis, who emphasized its strong message of evangelization, inspired by the unity of religious cultures and the defense of the dignity of every individual.
