The Municipality of Ferrara has validated the executive project variant drawn up by Proger and the ABDR architecture studio for the restoration and enhancement of the “Palazzo Massari – Cavalieri di Malta” Museum.
The project, in continuity with the construction process already undertaken by the Municipality with the post-earthquake consolidation works of 2012, will return to the city the entire complex that houses three important civic museums: the Filippo de Pisis Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, the Nineteenth Century Museum and the Giovanni Boldini Museum.
Visitors will find a more welcoming and modern art museum center thanks to new and wider exhibition routes; the creation of previously-absent services to the public, from teaching to study areas, bookshop and bar-café; a plant intervention designed to ensure not only the best environmental conditions for people and works of art, but also the integration of new energy systems with a building of high historical and artistic value.
