Magazzino Italian Art

is the only North American museum dedicated to Postwar and Contemporary Italian art and culture. Through our curatorial, scholarly, and public initiatives, we explore the history and enduring resonance of Italian art in today’s world.

Meaning “warehouse” in Italian, Magazzino was co-founded by Nancy Olnick and Giorgio Spanu in 2017. In 2023, the Museum inaugurated its Robert Olnick Pavilion, named in memory of philanthropist, Robert Olnick, which houses additional galleries for rotating exhibitions, an education center, Café Silvia and The Store.

Magazzino Italian Art is dedicated to shaping a diverse and inclusive working environment and to upholding these values within the local and global community.

We believe that:

Art should be shared. We promote an artistic approach that favors civic mindedness and that considers the viewer an active contributor to the liveliness of the work.

The arts and the public are mutually supportive. Our institution thrives on the strength of our local and international communities.

Relationships are what drive our institution. We rely on a vital network of artists, collaborators, team members and patrons to make our projects a reality.
