M9 - Mostra temporanea

M9 - MUSEUM OF THE 20TH CENTURY, founded from a project of the Venice Foundation and inaugurated in December 2018, it is a cultural institution with an international scope and vocation. Not a traditional museum, but a permanent laboratory of the contemporary.
An innovative experiment whose ambition is to reveal the material history of the twentieth century in Italy. In fact, it proposes a kaleidoscopic tale of the twentieth century: it shows the demographic, social, political and cultural, environmental and landscape changes; presents the outcomes and ambitions, challenges and achievements, threats and opportunities that have marked Italian history throughout the last century.

ARTE SALVATA. Capolavori oltre la guerra dal MuMa di Le Havre

The exhibition ARTE SALVATA. Masterpieces Beyond the War from MuMa in Le Havre will be open to the public from 15 March to 31 August at M9 - Museo del ‘900 (Venezia Mestre). This is an exhibition with a strong symbolic value, which sees the André Malraux Museum of Modern Art (MuMa) in Le Havre lend part of its collection, the most important for Impressionist paintings in France outside Paris, for the first time in history. The occasion comes as part of the celebrations for the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II that razed the city of Le Havre to the ground in September 1944, then virtuously rebuilt around its museum, a symbol of modernity and rebirth.

The exhibition, curated by Marianne Mathieu, one of the world's leading experts on Impressionism and Post-Impressionism, and by Geraldine Lefebvre, Director of the MuMa, presents a nucleus of more than 50 pictorial masterpieces, dating from the 19th and early 20th centuries, miraculously survived the bombings, signed by leading artists including Monet, Sisley, Gauguin, Dufy, Marquet, Boudin and Braque.

Through these works, the exhibition aims to represent an ideal passing of the baton between two cities, Le Havre and Mestre, united by the experience of suffering caused by the characteristics of Total war, to reaffirm the importance of cultural heritage in keeping the collective memory alive and the value of art as a vehicle of resilience and rebirth.To reinforce the dialogue between the two cities, moreover, a section of the exhibition will be dedicated to an in-depth photographic and documentary look at what has happened in Mestre since the terrible bombing of 28 March 1944. It will present the redevelopment process that began after the Second World War for both the residential heritage and the industrial area.
