HISTORY AND MISSION

Born in 2005, together with the  re-opening of GAM, after a significative restoration which started at the end of the 90s, the Friends of Modern Art Gallery of Milan Onlus is a cultural association which gathers a group of  modern and contemporary art supporters.

Being  a "a Member of GAM"  means  sharing the interest for art in its broader meaning, actively participating to the development of the museums' heritage and increasing the visibility of the Museum. 

The aim of the association is to promote the fund raising for the GAM's benefit, to make known and spread out the value and the beauty of the Museum' collections and to create, inside the Vila Reale a special and unique place where people can meet and discuss about art and liberal arts. 

Friends of the GAM enjoy the unique opportunity to participate in an on-going program of special events, such as the "concerts in Villa Reale", round tables and conferences, private and guided viewings, artistic and historical debates with particular focus on the masterpieces of the nineteenth century that form the unique heritage of the Museum collections.

Alle the Friends initiatives are planned in a close collaboration with the Museaum Director

The Friends Association itself invites and selects the new members in order to gather and bond peple  who share the same passions and interests. The unique way in which this membership base is structured facilitates cultural exchanges between participants, ensuring that all members continue to share and unite through common interests and objectives. Friends are constantely involved in facilitating contacts among members to improve the reciprocal knowledge in order to actively participate to the Museum's life.
