MUSMA - Museum of Contemporary Sculpture Matera - Pomarici Palace

The MUSMA (Museum of contemporary sculpture Matera) is an Italian museum located in Matera and dedicated to sculpture.

It was inaugurated in 2006 and is located in Pomarici Palace, on the highest part of the Sassi district.

MUSMA is the most important Italian museum entirely dedicated to sculpture. Inserted in the suggestive setting of Palazzo Pomarici (XVI century), it is the only "cave" museum in the world, where you can experience a perfect symbiosis between 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 rock environments. The visitor can therefore experience an ideal integration, of intense emotional impact, between the secular environments "quarried" by man and contemporary sculpture.
