It has now been 22 years since the foundation of the MUSEUM and the exhibitions that have followed one another in these years were born and matured from the common root of the constant and laborious artistic research of those who until their last breath sought, met, supported the MAON artists.

The time spent in study and research was not in vain. New authors just crossed, mature artists and national experiences meet once again in this challenge of the COLLECTION.

A core of works already present in previous exhibitions, will be joined from 6 July to 30 September by experiences of artists who in recent years have entered with donations and whose availability for public use as a cultural offer, continues to underline the role of the MAON as a true conservator, guardian and disseminator of art of our time.

Thirty works adhere to the walls of the MAON like letters of a speech sometimes clear sometimes disconnected. No order of chronological succession of the works, nor of the artists who are gathered here chromatically, in an attempt to excite through colors and shapes.

Some pictorial experiences courageously placed alongside avant-garde artists prove to be singular, even if intentionally distant from each other. The MAON archive contains an invaluable heritage of experiences that make it a treasure chest of art of the highest level year after year. The recent rearrangement of the COLLECTION aimed to disrupt the traditional chronological exhibition system, creating a short circuit in the rooms between works by different artists and currents.

The suggestion is to have fun tracing your own connections freely, between one room and another, between the first and the last work.

Welcome to the MAON COLLECTION.
