New Zaha Hadid Maxxi Museum Opens in Rome

Rome's National Museum of 21st Century Arts is open after 11 years and 185 million dollars! The building was designed by the famous architect Zaha Hadid. The building includes a library, auditorium, cafe and restaurant and is full of "geometric stairways and a long mazelike network of long, razor-sharp fins, paths and tracks that mark the ceilings." (WWD) There are a multitude of artists featured in the museum including: Michelangelo Pistoletto, Alighiero Boetti, Lucio Fontana, Andy Warhol, Gino De Dominicis, Anselm Kiefer and Francesco Vezzoli. See someof the fantastic images below!
