Luoghi del Contemporaneo is an online platform launched by the Directorate-General for Contemporary Creativity of the Italian Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism with the aim to map the network of contemporary art venues in Italy. It contributes to the real-time monitoring of the contemporary art venues open to the public; business-driven organisations have not been added to this platform. The interactive platform, implemented in line with the development of the current art scene, is an important tool to allow everyone to get to know Italian contemporary art and artists.
The mapping has been organised according to a typological division: Arts in urban and public spaces, Associations, Collections, Foundations, Foreign Institutions, Museums, Company Museums, Parks and Gardens, Exhibition Spaces and Independent Spaces.
