On the corner of intersection of Via Giulio Romano and Via Acerbi; in Mantua, Italy. The undedicated church of St. Christopher is converted into an adaptable temporary exhibiton space in order to raise recognition as a cultural landmark in the city by public.

 

Breaking the church of St. Christopher into a temporary exhibition space; the space of interest is located in an institutional area with many museums such as Mantegna's House, St. Sebastian temple, and St. Sebastian Palace with the city museum and Palazzo Te. It is located on the Prince's Path from the Tea Palace to Ducal Palace; the path's significance is not only coming from historical values, but also today's economical and social values. The area gives us the possibility to connect the institutional path with the temporary exhibition space. The benefits for culture and tourism are foreseen to be healthy for the exhibition and public as well.

​

Inside the undedicated church, there are many non preserved stucco works, and frescoes. In the second half of the twentieth century, the building had been used as commercial building. Now it is public property, patronized by the conservation law (L 1089/1939)
