Environmental & Social
Some environment impact to run the museum (mostly electricity). Spreads culture and the arts.
Conclusion
Our view is one should visit MAXXI for the architecture (building and collection) or for a specific exhibition you are keen on, but not for the art. That is until improvements are made around quality and curation of the permanent collection.
Key positive
Some first-rate exhibitions
Stunning building
Key negative
Weak permanent collection "core"
A little out of the way from other tourist attractions / not central
Suitability
Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility. Younger children are unlikely to enjoy this museum.
