The MAN presents DNA From the twentieth century to today, its permanent collection, in an even more important and rich journey of works and artists which, from Ballero to Nivola passing through Francesco Ciusa, winds throughout the twentieth century and, thanks to new acquisitions, continues up to the present, projecting itself to at the same time towards the future, through the happy personal dialogue with contemporary artists, such as Aldo Contini.

In this way, the collection of the Collection, whose corpus, born in 1999 with the first 130 works, has gradually increased over the years, today appears much more complete and of absolute excellence. And to do so this time the Collection needs new spaces, and so it expands to also occupy the rooms on the third floor of the Museum, until now reserved for temporary exhibitions, following a chronological path which, starting from the 1940s, takes place until nowadays with the works of artists such as Mauro Manca, Maria Lai, Rosanna Rossi, Caterina Lai, just to name a few. Thus the MAN permanent collection, the result of a difficult and perpetual work of research, acquisition, conservation and exhibition, does not betray its evolutionary nature by enriching itself with prestigious works capable of recounting over a century of art in Sardinia.
