Oooh... finally ! MAXXI IS HERE!

Maxxi is finally opened- after 10 years of construction the famous iranian architect Zaha Hadid's (click her website!) project in Rome is finished. MAXXI is the new contemporary art museum and gallery in Rome, situated in the Flaminio zone, North Rome. It shall held it's first exhibition in the spring 2010. We are all quite anxious to see it!!




"..The completion of the museum is proof that this city is no longer allergic to the new and a rebuke to those who still see Rome as a catalog of architectural relics for scholars or tourists.
..Its sensual lines seem to draw the energy of the city right up into its belly, making everything around it look timid."
