About

MOGAM

- Modern Gallery of Arts and Motors - is a unique art and automotive

Museum in Italy and it derives from the true passion for cars and

figurative arts. This amazing union originated the idea of

establishing an Association that promotes culture through the permanent

exposition of its own collection which captures visitors by showing them

a new and exciting dimension.

MOGAM, a symbol of 'made in Italy', offers an expository area that covers a

surface of about 2000 mq and that is plunged into the art of a

wonderful private park, designed by professor Ippolito Pizzetti,

situated in the city of Catania. Inside the MOGAM museum, besides the main

artistic and car halls, there is even a section dedicated to 'Targa

Florio' where there are numerous antiques, some of which are books,

trophies, pictures and different 'memorabilia'.

MOGAM, moreover, allows seeing magazines, rare books of

art and motoring, and peculiar antiques which represent some parts of

life which belong to the previous century and enrich the culture of

the Museum.

Along

this expository activity MOGAM periodically arranges sports events and hosts modern and contemporary art exhibitions in order to promote

culture. Some rare and valuable pieces of its art and automobile

collection are often requested for various cultural events. To quote

just a few examples: the exhibition 'The Myth of Speed', presented in

spring 2008 at the Palazzo delle Esposizioni in Rome, was given a work

of the master Futurist Umberto Boccioni. On the anniversary of 60 years

of Ferrari in Maranello held on 23 th and 24 th June 2007, has been

given an important collection of cars: Ferrari 166 Formula 2 in which

Andrea De Adamich won the 1968 'Temporada Argentina'.

MOGAM is a private museum sponsored by The Italian Department (Ministry)

of Economic Development and by The Council Department for the Arts of

the City of Catania.
