The place I visited is the majestic Castello di Rivoli in Piedmont, Italy. This 17th-century hunting lodge turned contemporary art museum was absolutely mesmerizing. The castle’s modern art collections were complemented by the charming architecture of the castle. It was such a contrast to see modern art installations inside a castle that was built for royalty. Castello di Rivoli is unique in that it allows us to see the past, present, and future of art in one place.
