The MUSMA is the most important Italian museum entirely dedicated to sculpture. Set in the evocative setting of Palazzo Pomarici (16th century), it is the only museum " in cave" in the world, where you can experience a perfect symbiosis between the sculptures and some of the most characteristic places carved in the Sassi of Matera.
The museum spaces, in fact, cover not only the built up areas of the Palace, but also the large excavated hypogea, where the vast collection of works of art is regenerated by the strength of the rocky environments. The visitor can therefore experience an ideal integration, of intense emotional impact, between the secular "quarried" environments; by man and contemporary sculpture.
