The MACTE Foundation, established in February 2019, was created with the aim of promoting art and culture and enhancing and managing the heritage of the collection of works of the Termoli Prize.

With its 500 m2, the MACTE Museum presents itself as a point of attraction for local and national contemporary art and as a functional and propulsive cultural hub for the city of Termoli and Molise.

The building that houses the MACTE is the result of the renovation and new design of an old local market, which today hosts the new exhibition itinerary of the Collection curated by the art historian Laura Cherubini, and organized according to a chronological and thematic criterion aimed at highlighting the masters and the main artistic movements that have characterized Italian art from 1950 to the present day.

From 2020, the MACTE Museum in Termoli will be subject to a major expansion: a new building will be annexed to the existing one, creating the first library in Molise dedicated exclusively to art, an area dedicated to cultural events, a restoration room.
