Fondazione Biscozzi Rimbaud

Contemporary and modern art enthusiasts should seek out this 2018-established collection lovingly amassed since the late '60s by a wealthy Pugliese couple. Among the 200-plus works, striking geometric and abstract paintings and sculpture from 1950–80 predominate. The permanent exhibits are a wonderful introduction to masters of modernismo italiano and less well-known Pugliese artists from Burri to Zorio.

MUSMA (Museo della Scultura Contemporanea)

Amid otherworldly cave interiors, medieval courtyards, frescoed corners, and the grand spaces of 17th-century Palazzo Pomarici, this museum charts the evolution of Italian sculpture from the early 1800s to the present. Innovative curation, atmospheric lighting, and eerie acoustics make for a one-of-a-kind gallery experience.
