A really nice, cozy and silent place in this not so silent city. I really enjoyed the three floors. Some interesting and inspiring artwork. Colorful. The Cafeteria could need some more choices of tea 🙈 I loved this place because it gave my mind rest, peace and thoughts.

The Museo Madre is a fantastic venue for contemporary art and provides a brilliant, modern contrast to classical, historic Naples. The museum spans several floors of a beautiful old palazzo, which is used to showcase the exhibitions in a truly impressive architectural setting. The permanent collection and the temporary exhibitions are incredibly diverse, bold and perfectly curated. It is absolutely fascinating to see how the historic building structure blends with contemporary masterpieces here. A spectacular highlight is the entrance area itself, which has been perfectly showcased by Daniel Buren with a colourful mirror installation. As you stroll through the bright, spacious galleries, one well-known work follows another. We were particularly impressed by the large-scale, iconic installations: from Jannis Kounellis’s historic oil cans to Richard Long’s delicate "Circle" work applied directly to the wall, right through to Jeff Koons’s pop-art, eye-catching sculptures from his famous Hulk series. Compared to the bustling streets outside, the museum is pleasantly quiet. You can lose yourself completely in the works and enjoy the creative atmosphere in peace. For us, one of the best museums of modern art in Naples, highly recommended!

Great spot to see some contemporary art. Not as intense as lots of the religious things in Italy. Had a coffee in their cafe afterwards and looked at some of the art books. Well worth a visit

Madre Napoli was such a pleasant surprise. I really enjoyed the space and the installations—they were well thought out, and I got to discover artists I’d never heard of before. The best part was that it wasn’t crowded, so my husband and I could take our time and enjoy each exhibit at our own pace. Definitely a cool spot to visit in Naples.

We really loved our visit to the museum. It was very quiet with few people when we went. The exhibit halls are well laid out and very interesting. Worth the trip!
