Mattatoio

Housed in Rome’s former slaughterhouse, the Mattatoio complex is one of Rome's top contemporary arts venues. Its cavernous halls, themselves fine examples of 19th-century industrial architecture, stage regular exhibitions, installations and performances by established and emerging artists.

Note that opening hours and admission prices vary according to the exhibition – check the website for what's on.
