MAXXI (Italian: Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, "national museum of 21st-century arts") is a national museum of contemporary art and architecture in the Flaminio neighborhood of Rome, Italy.

The building was designed by Zaha Hadid, and won the Stirling Prize of the Royal Institute of British Architects in 2010.

The 18th-century Palazzo Ardinghelli that houses MAXXI L'Aquila had also been severely damaged, and was later restored by the Italian ministry of cultural heritage and tourism, with additional funding from the Russian government.
