My idea of fun: Rome’s GNAM #emptymuseo

Visit Rome's La Galleria Nazionale is the best modern and contemporary art gallery. Erica Firpo hosts EmptyMuseo.

For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, my idea of fun is meandering the hallways and exhibition spaces of a museum.  Any museum will do, though I tend to have a penchant for those with monumental paintings, colorful walls or anything Twombly.

Since Instagram hit the scene, I’ve had a lot fun “visiting” museums, galleries, art fairs and spaces thanks to hashtags like #artwatchers and #emptymet which let me spy on what you are sizing up.   And I get the opportunity to share the spaces and places I love through my own gallery.  Over the past few years, I’ve been passionately obsessed with Rome’s Galleria Nazionale di Arte Moderna, aka GNAM— a modern and contemporary national art gallery that is made up of Italy’s very best, from the Unification to the present, plus some non-Italians that you know and love.  And it has everything I love–  enormous 19th century paintings, Futurists-a-go-go, Pistoletto, Clemente, Twombly, Duchamp,  a hall made up of broken mirrors and temporary shows.

Thanks to the support of the Italian Ministry of Culture, I joined some friends for a morning of #emptymuseo, cìoe, a visitor-free walk through GNAM in December– it was an opportunity to capture the museum as we love it.   And I want to do more. If you have a museum you want to walk through, let me know. I’ll happily meet up.
