Since that date, the GNAMC has introduced a time entry ticket. Access to the museum and its rooms currently entirely devolved to the exhibition “Il Tempo del Futurismo” is now possible for a period of three hours. An interval chosen at the time of the purchase of the ticket. Gnamc director, Renata Cristina Mazzantini, defends herself from having taken a “Arbitrary decision” and justify this “Timed visit” by its desire to better manage the flow of visitors. This will control the “Many people present in the museum, for fire safety purposes, and to respect the scheduled crowd index.” The detractors of this decision cast back a step back as museums seek to raise awareness of the general public. Transforming a visit to the race against the clock is according to them counterproductive.
This is not the first time that the choices of the GNAMC management have aroused controversy. For several months, it has been the subject of a series of controversies concerning its management and its programming: from the chaos of the exhibition on futurism to the closure of the archives and the museum library for works which have still not started, including the presentation of books written by personalities close to the power in place.
