Next door to the sculpture park is a glossy art museum also designed by Renzo Piano and unveiled in 2012. The museum is in three pavilions under a coiling, silvery glass canopy.
The museum’s collection is a who’s who of modern and contemporary art with names like Francis Bacon, Sigmar Polke, Andy Warhol, Janine Antoni, Jeff Koons, Sherrie Levine, Damien Hirst, Bruce Naumann, and Olafur Eliasson.
These works are hung in specially curated exhibitions and shared in the museum with short-term shows on themes or single artists: When we wrote this post the temporary exhibition was titled “Effects of Good Government in the Pit”, for Norwegian artist and writer Matias Faldbakken.
