This new museum is designed as a showcase for the work in progress at the Centro Palladio: it has no collection of its own but instead a permanent, constantly evolving topic to explore.
This vision, together with the fact that the visitors discover Palladio inside his own architecture, become a fundamental aspect of the museum’s design.
The interventions include, on the ground floor, a new Palladio information centre, a ticket office, a bookshop and a cloakroom; and on the piano nobile, the exhibition itself in five main rooms, plus a wing exclusively for temporary exhibitions.
