Mosaic by Night: Contemporary Art and Aperitif with View
A fascinating opportunity to experience the MAR – Ravenna Art Museum – in an unusual and captivating setting.   As the evening falls, the galleries become quieter and more intimate, and the guided tour takes on a new tone: slower, more personal, and more engaging.   Accompanied by an expert guide, you will explore the museum’s permanent collection of contemporary mosaics. This journey reveals how this ancient technique has been able to renew and evolve, inspiring generations of artists up to the present day. From the avant-garde movements of the 20th century to the most current artistic expressions, the exhibition showcases works by famous names such as Chagall, Afro, Guttuso, Saetti, Vedova, and contemporary artists like Luca Barberini, Marco and Dusciana Bravura, the CaCO3 collective, Felice Nittolo, and many others.   The evening concludes in the splendid Loggetta Lombardesca, where you can enjoy a refreshing and relaxed aperitif in one of the city’s most evocative cloisters. A moment of pleasure, surrounded by the flavors of our region and the peaceful ambiance of a historically rich location.   An experience to share with those who love art, but also with those looking for a different way to discover Ravenna.
