Art Kane. Beyond the Real.
1 February - 15 September 2025, Castello Estense
Ferrara celebrates one of the most important masters of 20th century photography, Art Kane (New York, 1925-1995), on the centenary of his birth and thirty years after his death. His work was published in famous magazines (Life, Vogue, Esquire) and profoundly influenced the photographers of the following generations, who appreciated his free, visionary and innovative approach (e.g. his use of colour). The exhibition traces Kane's entire creative parabola through over 100 works arranged in sections that explore all aspects of his multifaceted production.

Chagall. Testimone del suo tempo.
11 settembre 2025 - 08 febbraio 2026
In autumn 2025, Palazzo dei Diamanti will host one of the most beloved artists of the 20th century: Marc Chagall, a visionary painter and poet of color.
The exhibition Chagall, Witness of His Time, running from October 11, 2025, to February 8, 2026, offers an emotional and immersive journey into the heart of his art. Over 200 works—including paintings, drawings, and prints—are accompanied by two spectacular immersive rooms, inviting visitors into the artist’s intimate and fantastical universe: flying lovers, talking animals, blooming flowers, and mirrored portraits become powerful symbols of deep and universal spirituality.
Chagall takes us through the essential themes of identity, exile, memory, and the joy of life, reminding us that art can be a bridge between cultures, eras, and hearts.

Ferrara Arte - The Foundation
In Ferrara, important art events mean Ferrara Arte, a foundation established with the aim of holding international exhibitions in the splendid setting of the Palazzo dei Diamanti in collaboration with the Art Museums Service of the Municipality of Ferrara.
The foundation's first initiative dates back to 1991-92 when, together with the Musée Marmottan, an anthological exhibition of Giovanni Boldini was organised in Paris, followed in Ferrara by the exhibition 'Claude Monet and his friends'.
Over the years, Ferrara Arte has forged a valuable network of connections and collaborations with the world's greatest museums - from the Metropolitan in New York to the Getty Museum in Los Angeles, from the Museo del Prado to the Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza in Madrid, from the Tate in London to the Bozar in Brussels and the Staatsgalerie in Stuttgart - making the Palazzo dei Diamanti one of the best known and most respected excellences abroad.
Alongside the exhibitions organised at the historic building located in the so-called Quadrivio degli Angeli, Ferrara Arte has distinguished itself for initiatives aimed at enhancing the historical, cultural and artistic heritage of the city and its province, and in recent years has employed its professionalism to design and realise exhibition projects in different city spaces, including the Castello Estense, Palazzina Marfisa d'Este, Padiglione d'Arte Contemporanea and Palazzo Bonacossi.
