For over twenty years, Luiss has been committed to the production and enhancement of its artistic and cultural heritage.
Over time, the establishment of the Theater Workshop and the Luiss Choir (which from 2022 will be enriched by the collaboration with the Rome Opera House), the enhancement activities of the historical buildings (such as the renovation of Villa Blanc completed in 2017 and the project of guided tours open to the public launched in the same year), the management of the PalaLuiss acquired in 2000 have further articulated and enriched the impact of Luiss on the territory, representing a tangible sign of the social role that the University has in the territory in which it is located.
Luiss also hosts the permanent exhibitions "Laboratorio teatrale Luiss in mostra" and "RetroMachines", and has acquired numerous pieces of contemporary art (photographs, paintings, sculptures and installations) made by Italian and international artists, now exhibited in the various campuses.
