The International Watercolor Museum
Welcome to the International Watercolor Museum.
The museum houses a contemporary watercolor collection from 90 countries around the world.
The physical museum, located in Fabriano in the Marche region of Italy, was founded in 2017 to serve as a testament to international relations and aesthetic reciprocity.
A large group of world-renowned masters and artists have shared projects and experiences through the artistic approach of Relational Art in live events.
They have applied the watercolor technique, sometimes pushing its boundaries, always allowing the painting to serve as an interpretive language to better connect with every world culture.
The museum is a bridge that unites all continents by water, natural pigments, and a paper surface.
The Museum is dedicated to World's Watercolor Masters, but also to contemporary artists, fans, and visitors - anyone who appreciates the transparency of natural pigments on paper.
in 2025 the Museum becomes digital...

The International Watercolor Museum...
... is the first Museum in the world dedicated to contemporary international watercolor. It is located in Fabriano, Italy - here this pictorial technique unites with the city's paper-making tradition, a main local excellence since the thirteenth century.
For many years this City in the Marche region hinterland, has worked togeter with the InArte society, to organize many international events dedicated to the world of water painting. These events have hosted a large number of contemporary artists and masters, who now recognize this area as the potential "Capital of Watercolor."
The Museum was thus created to celebrate an artistic experience of international collaboration and aesthetic exchange. It applies Relational Art to events where masters and artists share projects and experiences, apply and evolve the watercolor technique, and use painting as a language to connect with every culture.
Tha Museum houses a very interesting collection that includes both traditional and innovative watercolor paintings from international schools. This collection grows each year through collaborations with many countries around the world.
Serving as a container for works that represent the art of contemporary watercolor, the museum is also an active space for temporary exhibitions, workshops, demonstrations, and conferences for the watercolor community. Its goal is to achieve the greater artistic visibility and also grow a new generation of watercolorists through technical innovation and new creative approaches, aiming for a future that is less traditional, more interesting, and truly innovative."
The museum is structured in 3 sections:
| Cultures from the World |
| Watercolor Subjects |
| Watercolor Styles and Applications |
