Milan, Gauguin, Matisse and Chagall exhibition reopens at Museo Diocesano


After the forced closure for the health emergency, the exhibition Gauguin, Matisse, Chagall. The Passion in French Art from the Vatican Museums, set up in the rooms of the “Carlo Maria Martini” Diocesan Museum in Milan, has reopened to the public as a result of the museum’s June 2 reopening of its doors.

Scheduled to run from June 2 to Oct. 4, the Milan diocesan museum is thus repurposing the exhibition of works belonging to artists such as Paul Gauguin, Auguste Rodin, Maurice Denis, Georges Rouault, Marc Chagall, and Henri Matisse, to name a few, who share the theme of the Passion of Christ. Among paintings, sculptures and engravings from the Contemporary Art Collection of the Pope’s Museums, the exhibition sheds light on different aspects of the delicate relationship between modernity and tradition in art and the Church between the 19th and 20th centuries.



For all information you can visit the museum’s official website.
