Two of the most influential artists in the modern art world in one exhibition: Andy Warhol, the pop art pioneer, and Banksy, the rebellious street artist.

More than 100 works from private collections and major art galleries are on display. Banksy’s sensual Kate Moss and Warhol’s Marilyn are among the works on show.
TIP
RECONSTRUCTION OF THE STATUE OF CONSTANTINE!
In the garden of Villa Caffarelli, the replica of Constantine, shown in fragments in the Capitoline Museums, has been on display in its entirety since 6 February using 3D modelling technology!
You could already imagine how tall Constantine must have been when you stood next to his hand. But now you can see it in full: 13 metres tall, this Constantine is made of resin and polyurethane, marble powder, gold leaf and plaster.
I thought it was a standing statue, but Constantine is seated, with cape, sceptre and orb!
The garden can be visited free of charge. Don’t miss out on it!
Until 31 December 2025!

On display are works that document his artistic transformation and his exploration of identity, exile and foreignness. The show offers a fascinating insight into Picasso’s multi-layered sources of inspiration and his influence on modern art.

Warhol and Banksy
Until 6 June 2025
What can you expect?
Two of the most influential artists in the modern art world in one exhibition: Andy Warhol, the pop art pioneer, and Banksy, the rebellious street artist. The show examines parallels and contrasts in their social criticism and artistic expression. The most photographed, famous artist Warhol is juxtaposed with the anonymous Banksy. Warhol and his works, which became a consumer product, are contrasted with Banksy’s ‘street vandalism’. But Banksy and his anonymity have ultimately also become iconic.
More than 100 works from private collections and major art galleries are on display. Banksy’s sensual Kate Moss and Warhol’s Marilyn are among the works on show.
