A tourist stop par excellence, a rare example of a Museum conceived and created by an Artist to express his total vision of Art, integrating Painting, Design, Graphics, Scenography and Applied Art.
A one-of-a-kind Museum, dedicated to the Futurist Artist Fortunato Depero. It is the only futurist museum founded by a futurist himself and houses a vast collection of works by Depero, including Paintings, Sculptures, Drawings, and Design objects.
The Casa d’Arte Futurista Depero Museum was designed by Depero himself and inaugurated in 1959. It is a fascinating place that allows you to immerse yourself in the creative and innovative universe of futurism, an artistic and cultural movement that had a great impact on the art and society of the twentieth century.
Fortunato Depero personally designed this museum space, taking care of every detail: from the furnishings to the decorations, from the mosaics to the cloth inlays.
The Museum reflects his artistic vision, characterized by innovation, irony and the desire to break down traditional hierarchies between the arts
Located in the historic center Casa Depero is now one of the Mart locations – Museum of modern and contemporary art of Trento and Rovereto
