MUSMA - Museo della Scultura Contemporanea Matera

The MUSMA is the most important Italian museum entirely dedicated to sculpture. Inserted in the evocative setting of Palazzo Pomarici (16th century), it is the only "cave" museum in the world, where you can experience a perfect symbiosis between sculptures and some of the most characteristic places carved in the Sassi of Matera. in fact, they cover not only the built-up areas of the Palace, but also the large excavated hypogea, where the vast collection of works of art is regenerated by the strength of the rock environments. The visitor can therefore experience an ideal integration, of intense emotional impact, between the secular environments "quarried" by man and contemporary sculpture.
