Museum of Capodimonte

Il Museum of Capodimonte in Naples celebrates Women's Day with thefree admission to all women on Tuesday 8 March 2022.

A nice initiative both to celebrate this important anniversary, the International Women's Day, both to further promote their own permanent collections and temporary exhibitions which have been set up in the beautiful royal palace.

The Capodimonte Museum, in fact, is an incredible historical and artistic heritage, one of the most important in our city, and also tomorrow 8 March you can get to know all its treasures including paintings, statues, Armory, furnishings and much more.

Temporary exhibitions in Capodimonte

There are currently some temporary exhibitions that we can visit. Here's what they are.

Andrea Bolognino. Blindness, blindness and outrage

La exhibition by Andrea Bolognino will be open until April 18 and it is a beautiful exhibition in which the author compares his modern paintings with one of the most important paintings in the Museum, namely the Parable of the Blind di Peter Brueghel the Elder. His 24 drawings stimulate us to reflect on the relationship between art and science through the theme of blinding.
