Don't be misled by other reviews suggesting it's small, there's plenty here! Spread over 3 floors and myriad rooms, there are hundreds of pieces to look at; you could comfortably spend a couple of hours looking around. The exhibits were quiet without being deserted. There are toilets publicly available, a rare treat for Italian attractions. There is also a café in the gallery, but I did not visit it. The full price ticket was €8. The exhibits could be greatly improved with more information; each piece has the name of the work, the artist and the year of creation, and each room has some general information about the thematic linking of pieces in the room. I found myself Googling for context a lot. Worth a few hours, especially on a rainy day!

This gallery is located in central Palermo and features 'modern' artwork (from the 1700s onwards). There is a strong focus on regional artwork with many Sicilian artists present. The content is varied, from mythological and religious artwork to modern portraits. Despite what other reviews say, this isn't a small gallery- there are multiple floors. I would advise dedicating 2 hours to the gallery. There is also a café and bookshop. Toilets are available throughout the gallery.

The museum had some excellent pieces from a fair variety of mediums. The lighting system was an interesting and fun plus. Walking into a room and having the lights come on automatically from dim cannot be understated for its visual impact. Staff were helpful and kind. Lovely place to visit if you are enjoyer of fine art and imposing large scale pieces. The limited time exhibition of the Andromeda Theater was breathtaking.

A peaceful place to contemplate some beautiful paintings away from the crowds. I always am amazed how many great artists there were in Europe in the 19th century in particular whom I have never heard of, in part because many famous collections are so focused on the Parisiens. This is an example of how it pays to travel around and go to regional galleries.

Interesting selection of paintings and sculptures. Not the usual definition of ‘modern art’ as it goes back 150 years or so but perhaps because of the narrower field of Sicilian art. But all the better for that, with works from artists unknown to most foreign visitors. Quiet, calm gallery to stroll around. Cafe not open when we visited on a Sunday.

Fabulous collection of Italian art. €10 entry. In beautiful old building spread across three floors with an elevator. Was almost empty had the place to myself which was great! I loved all the fin de siecle turn of the century paintings the best. Some amazing sculpture too Lots of great Italian artists I’ve never heard of. Fantastic!!
