Lonely Planet review for Palazzo delle Esposizioni
This huge neoclassical palace is Rome’s premier cultural centre. Boasting cathedral-scale exhibition spaces, art labs, a bookshop, café and restaurant, it hosts everything from multimedia events and art exhibitions to concert performances, film screenings and conferences. Blockbuster events have included a Mark Rothko retrospective, a photo exhibition dedicated to Bruce Chatwin and a celebration of Charles Darwin’s centenary. In various former lives, the palazzo served as HQ for the Italian Communist Party, a mess for allied servicemen, a polling station and even a public loo.
