The Galleria d’Arte Moderna “Achille Forti” is a modern art museum in the historic centre of Verona, housed in the Palazzo della Ragione. In fact GAM was founded by Veronese patron Achille Forti, who at the beginning of the 20th century left his art collection as a fund for the establishment of a city museum dedicated to the arts. This heritage has been enriched through bequests and donations until there are about 1,600 works of art, covering a period of time from the early nineteenth century to the present day.
At the end of 2021 it inaugurated a new exhibition itinerary, the result of artistic research aimed at modernity: an exhibition structured according to the formula of the rotation of works, which aims to make known most of the works kept in the deposits, some of which have never been exhibited. The exhibition tells the story of the development of art in Italy from 1830 to the present day, and proposes new itineraries on the themes and insights that have marked the cultural landscape of this time period.
Since 1997, the Gallery has enriched the contemporary section with about 400 works, thanks to purchases, donations, deposits and loans, with the aim of offering the public already established authors on the international art scene, as well as young emerging artists.
