The Collection of Modern and Contemporary Art is a collection of paintings, graphic art and sculptures in the Vatican Museums.
It occupies 55 rooms: the Borgia Apartment (apartment of Pope Alexander VI) on the first floor of the Apostolic Palace, the two floors of the Salette Borgia, a series of rooms below the Sistine Chapel, and a series of rooms on the ground floor. Approximately 250 artists created over 500 pieces that are displayed in the Borgia Apartments. The Collection was officially introduced to the public on June 23, 1973.[1]
A permanent contemporary art gallery was installed on the premises in November 2021.[2]
