Over the next two years, the museum in Bergamo will alternate between two exhibitions: “Cantiere Museo,” dedicated to the museum’s collections and the life of the institution, and “Ritratto in Carrara,” focused on the evolution of the genre. The exhibition will be presented on December 2 at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan.
The Accademia Carrara in Bergamo will present its program of activities for the 2026–2028 period on Wednesday, December 2, at 11:30 a.m., in the Sala della Balla at the Castello Sforzesco in Milan, thanks to the hospitality of the City of Milan’s Department of Culture and the Castello Sforzesco. Curated by Director Maria Luisa Pacelli, the calendar is organized into two programs that will alternate over the next two years: “Cantiere Museo” and “Ritratto in Carrara,” comprising exhibitions, commissioned works, research projects, public activities, gallery reorganizations, and publishing initiatives.
“Cantiere Museo” focuses on the institution and its collections, viewed as a heritage capable of generating new interpretations and opportunities for engagement. This program will also highlight the daily work and the professionals involved in the museum’s operations through exhibitions, commissioned works, interventions in the galleries and the PwC Gardens, as well as research and in-depth studies.
The program opens on November 12, 2026 ,with *Federico Zeri: A Personal Diary*, running through July 4, 2027. The project includes an exhibition-workshop, a digital scholarly catalog, a series of lectures, and an exhibition aimed at younger audiences. In December 2026, the Tarot exhibition is also scheduled to be restaged. The series will culminate in March 2028 with *Giacomo Carrara. “The Universe of a Collector,” curated by Maria Luisa Pacelli, Paolo Plebani, and Ilaria Serati, is scheduled from March 3, 2028, to January 7, 2029, and is dedicated to the museum’s founder.
“Portrait in Carrara” will kick off in February 2027 with a public program and will feature its main event in the exhibition “Bellini, Antonello, Giorgione, Titian.” The Invention of the Portrait in Venice, running from September 24, 2027, to January 23, 2028. Curated by Neville Rowley and Giulia Zaccariotto with Keith Christiansen, the exhibition will explore one of the most representative themes of the Bergamo collections. From Pisanello to Mantegna, Botticelli, and Lotto, all the way to Moroni, Fra Galgario, and Ceruti, portraiture allows visitors to trace the evolution of the genre over time. Exhibitions, talks, and activities will also offer opportunities to reflect on the relationship between the depicted subject and the viewer, as well as on the dialogue between past and present.
