The Madre - Museo d’arte Contemporanea Donnaregina - is an important museum in the historic center of Naples.

The contemporary art museum of the Campania Region inaugurated its spaces in 2005 with site-specific installations by Domenico Bianchi, Francesco Clemente, Luciano Fabro, Rebecca Horn, Anish Kapoor, Jeff Koons, Jannis Kounellis, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Mimmo Paladino, Giulio Paolini, and Richard Serra.

Since 2013, thanks to the project Per_formare una collezione, dedicated to the progressive formation of the museum's permanent collection, the Madre combines archival research and new productions. Today the collection includes 300 works among acquisitions, donations, and long-term loans.

As a cultural and research center, the Madre organizes and promotes exhibitions, book presentations, projects, educational workshops, artist meetings, events, concerts, performative programs, and activities aimed at social inclusion: a museum that bears witness to a past and a contemporaneity that has made Campania a crossroads of all arts, aimed at studying and documenting the past through the languages and culture of the contemporary, and therefore capable of acting in the present and shaping the future.

The Madre welcomes visitors of all ages and nationalities every day.

The Madre - Museo d’arte Contemporanea Donnaregina is developed on 7,200 square meters of restored exhibition spaces designed as a museum by the Portuguese architect Álvaro Siza Vieira. It also includes a library, a media library, a bookshop/cafeteria area, and two large courtyards.
