Mattatoio

A very cool place to have an art installation; the old slaughterhouse infrastructure is very much visible and looks to be part of the plans for the ongoing development. Lots going on there and plenty of space. The photography exhibition by Mohamed Keita gives a different perspective of Rome, away from the usual subjects of photographs of the city. It's very close to the Testaccio market so if you're in the area wander in, it's free.

There is located the faculty of architeture and urbanism of Sapienza University. It is an old structure revitalized to gather a school. There is some exibitions and is a good place to visit when you want to visit the neighborhood of Testaccio.

Rome's fascinating cultural hub born from industrial history! 🇮🇹🏭 This former slaughterhouse in the Testaccio neighborhood has been brilliantly repurposed into a vast, edgy contemporary art and events space. 🎨🎭 Its impressive industrial architecture provides a striking backdrop for diverse exhibitions, concerts, and cultural initiatives. Explore its cavernous halls and courtyards, where the past echoes in the brickwork, now breathing new life as a center for modern creativity. A truly unique and vibrant testament to urban regeneration! 💖🌟 Absolutely compelling and innovative! ✨

Very very interesting experience.... loved all that we were able to see. The spray can paintings, the installations, the little market at the back. Very very nice. Although we were a little tired. Sadly we had informed at the booking counter that there was live music and that we could not find. But we did see a light and music display which was mesmerising.

Amazing place, really like it. Very similar to “el matadeiro “ in Madrid, I think that it has a great potential and I’m curious to see what it will become in few years. We saw the world press photo exhibition, which was very interesting and funny (in 1 hour you can see everything even reading all the captions that are super interesting). Recommend it!

I had high hopes for this space since I had read it was a contemporary art museum on the site of a former slaughterhouse. However, when I got there, the police who were on premise told me it was a university. There was absolutely no sign indicating there was any art activity. I wish there were more to see.

Highly recommended a visit here. Two huge exhibition spaces regularly show artists of considerable interest. Lively atmosphere with the University students. The new covered market nextdoor door offers over 20 Street food and fresh produce stands, wines and pastries too. Space to sit both outside and inside. All near the hill of broken vases left from Roman times. As I said highly recommended.

Had a great time in the museum. Almost got to meet the painter at the exhibition. The whole complex is wonderful. It has been renovated from the meat factory into the cultural center so there is a lot of life and sound. Check out the huge sticker wall near the southern wall and multiple graffitis.
