The Museo Nivola in Orani, Sardinia, is set to commemorate its 30th anniversary with a series of events running from May 2025 to 2026.

Curators Giuliana Altea, Antonella Camarda, and Luca Cheri will oversee the celebration, which includes solo exhibitions from Nathalie Du Pasquier, Mona Hatoum, and Hannah Levy. Du Pasquier will showcase a thematic retrospective of her 30-plus years in painting, while Hatoum will create a site-specific installation utilizing local resources, and Levy will investigate the relationship between body and design.
