Kandinsky Exhibition in Rome 2026–2027: The Major Exhibition at Palazzo Bonaparte

Twenty-five years after the last major retrospective in Rome, this exhibition offers a comprehensive journey through Wassily Kandinsky's artistic career, from his early figurative works to the iconic abstract compositions that transformed modern art.

The exhibition brings together approximately 70 works from the Centre Pompidou, one of the world's leading museums of modern art.
