The Nuragic and Contemporary Art Museum, also known as "Betile", is a planned museum in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy, designed by Zaha Hadid. Work is in progress to build it on the Sant'Elia promenade, near to the Stadio Sant'Elia football stadium.
The structure is very futuristic, and it is similar to a coralline concretion. The museum will be dedicated to Nuragic and contemporary art. Works from Sardinia and the Mediterranean will be displayed.
Famous quotes containing the words contemporary, art and/or museum:
“The shift from the perception of the child as innocent to the perception of the child as competent has greatly increased the demands on contemporary children for maturity, for participating in competitive sports, for early academic achievement, and for protecting themselves against adults who might do them harm. While children might be able to cope with any one of those demands taken singly, taken together they often exceed children’s adaptive capacity.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
“It is the way unseen, the certain route,
Where ever bound, yet thou art ever free;
The path of Him, whose perfect law of love
Bids spheres and atoms in just order move.”
—Jones Very (1831–1880)
“No one to slap his head.”
