The Hermann Nitsch Museum in Naples, founded in 2008 through the fruitful collaboration between the gallerist Giuseppe Morra and the Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch, is a singular exemplum of a total work of art that challenges the canons of contemporary museology and museography.


Bringing together a multiplicity of identities and forms that make it a “variable-geometry” museum, the Hermann Nitsch Museum stands as a critical outpost and a forward-looking institution, representing a space for the construction and deconstruction of the museum and its very status.

Addressing the complexity of this framework, the volume by Massimo Maiorino offers an interpretation that connects museum and city, participatory practices and collecting, archive and theatre, confirming the creative and productive nature of this constantly evolving institution.
