Its large complex has been designed by the swiss architect Mario Botta, together with the Rovereto engineer Giulio Andreolli, and inaugurated in Rovereto on 15 December 2002.Mart has seen almost 2 million of visitors to date, and has produced original and innovative exhibitions - such as "Mountain art science myth", "The dance of the avant-gardes", "The Word in Art", "The Century of Jazz" or "Futurism 100"; exhibitions on Italian artists such as Medardo Rosso, Luigi Russolo, Thayaht, Fausto Melotti, Mario Sironi, Carol Rama,Alighiero Boetti, Vincenzo Agnetti; solo shows of leading international artists such as Douglas Gordon; and constant research in the worlds of design, applied arts and contemporary art.The Mart is not just a conservation body but also, and above all, a 'cultural laboratory'. Its exhibition activity is closely linked to that of conservation, study, development, and research through the promotion of conventions, study days, seminars, conferences, and the programming of editorial initiatives about the study of archival sources. The exhibition area covers some 5,600 square metres and occupies the second and third floors of the building.
