The exhibition
The exhibition Gauguin.The Noa Noa Diary and Other Adventures is a must-see for anyone passionate about art and culture in Rome. Inspired by the famous diary that Paul Gauguin wrote in 1893 after his first trip to Tahiti, it offers a fascinating insight into the artist’s world. Enriched with vibrant woodcuts, the diary recounts life in the Polynesian islands, ancestral myths, symbolism, and spirituality that deeply influenced Gauguin’s artistic and personal journey. On display are more than 100 works, including drawings, lithographs, and diary pages, allowing visitors to rediscover Gauguin’s travels and his most intimate reflections. The woodcuts, printed by his friend Daniel de Monfreid, highlight the French painter’s fascination with the exotic world of the Pacific islands, bringing to life myths and traditions that inspired his creativity. Among the highlights is the monotype Study of Arms, Hands and Feet, saved from the fire ordered by the island’s religious authorities. The exhibition also features a section dedicated to Gauguin’s sculptures and a selection of lithographs created for the book Avant et Après, considered his true spiritual testament. One of the rarest treasures of this exhibition in Rome is Gauguin’s personal notebook, filled with sketches, studies, and annotations. Alongside figures and animals, it even includes records of his paintings sold, exchanged, or gifted, shedding light on the network of relationships and friendships between Gauguin and other great artists of his time, including Vincent Van Gogh and Émile Bernard. Visiting the Paul Gauguin exhibition in Rome 2025 means experiencing one of the city’s most important cultural events of the year. It is a unique opportunity for those looking to enrich their itinerary with world-class art while discovering things to do in Rome beyond its iconic landmarks.
