Museo d'arte moderna, dell'informazione e della fotografia

About the museum

The MUSINF, the civic museum of modern art, information and photography, was founded in 1981 on a project by the critic Carlo Emanuele Bugatti, with the support of artists such as Virgilio Guidi, Umberto Mastroianni and Orfeo Tamburi. The museum explores the relationship between word and image, with particular attention to photography.

The collections comprise around 1,700 works donated by more than fifty leading Italian artists, covering contemporary art, prints and photography. One section is devoted to the Scuola fotografica Misa, founded in Senigallia in the 1950s, with Giuseppe Cavalli and Mario Giacomelli among its leading figures. A collection of around 250 photographs by Giacomelli, donated by the artist, covers the period from the 1950s to the present and includes series such as “Scanno” and “Io non ho mani che mi accarezzino il viso”.

According to the record of the municipality of Senigallia, the museum is currently closed while new premises are being fitted out, and the collections have been moved to the Palazzo del Duca exhibition venue. An association of friends of the museum, named after Bugatti, supports its reopening.
