Why you should visit it
Macro is housed in a disused Peroni beer plant nestled amongst 19th-century apartment buildings. The main part of the museum was designed by the French architect Odile Decq. With mirrored walls, translucent plastic sinks and neon/UV colours, it feels like an amusement park!
Special tip
It has a good bookshop.
