The Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art of Bergamo is located in the former Monastery of the Servite and Dimesse, originally home to the 5th Alpine Regiment.
A 15th century building located in the historic Piazza Carrara, in front of the Accademia Carrara Picture Gallery and the art school.
A place that welcomes contemporary art in all its forms: personal and collective exhibitions of national and international artists, unpublished projects and a rich calendar of events.
The GAMEC is a multifaceted space where temporary exhibitions, experimental projects dedicated to collections and mediation, integration and didactic activities for the different public groups coexist.
A workshop of visual culture, a place of investigation, experimentation and dissemination of the languages of modernity.
In 1991 the museum was inaugurated by the Municipality of Bergamo, with the help of the Association for the Modern and Contemporary Art Gallery of Bergamo.
With its 1500 square meters of exhibition space, the structure is divided into four sections: the Manzù Collection, the Spajani Collection, the Stucchi Collection and finally the Kaleidoscope Room.
The collection includes works made in the twentieth century, medals, etchings, engravings by Giovanni Fattori and Carlo Carrà, an important archive of about 600 photographs and industrial design works.
