Venice has opened a new art gallery in a “mecchanical museum” style in which the paintings and artworks themselves move.
The idea for the museum was devised by Luigi Nono, Emilio Vedova, Massimo Cacciari and Renzo Piano back in 1984, and now in the old salt warehouses of Venice, the gallery is finally open.

Renzo Piano remembers that it was Emilio Vedova in particular who used to move his artworks around with the help of cables, ropes and pulleys.

The current system used in the museum to move artworks is managed by a computer, creating artworks that go beyond just paintings hung on walls, defying gravity.
The museum has also been established to provide for a kind of laboratory for young artists to explore and learn.
