Palermo - Palazzo Belmonte Riso Museo d'Arte contemporanea della Sicilia
The palace was built in the late eighteenth century and owned first by the Principe di Belmonte Giuseppe Emanuele Ventimiglia e Cottone to be later acquired by the Prince of Pandolfini. In the nineteenth century it passed to Baron Riso. The building was severely damaged by bombs during the Second World War. The first restoration of the palace was conducted in the mid-nineties which included the reconstruction of floors and roofs, of the two large axial courts, and the reorganization of internal spaces. It is in this suggestive location in the historical center of Palermo that the Museum of Contemporary Art is housed.

Palazzo Riso, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, center of the Museum of Contemporary art of the Sicily,
A fine neoclassical palace, built in 1784 by G.V. Marvuglia, it now hosts a permanent collection of famous international artists such as Christian Boltanski and Richard Long, the Italian Emilio Isgrò and Pietro Consagra, but is also a home for nascent Sicilian talents like Laboratorio Saccardi and for remarkable temporary art exhibitions.
The museum is also supplied with a book shop and an elegant coffee bar, good spots to meet people and to relax.
