The Nivola Museum (Italian: Museo Nivola; Sardinian: Museu Nivola) in Orani, Sardinia, Italy is an institution devoted to the work of artist Costantino Nivola (1911-1988) within the larger context of contemporary art, landscape, and living traditions.

The museum was established in 1994, a few years after his death, and has been expanding ever since. Nivola was an Orani native. The old wash-house was specially restored by architects Peter Chermayeff and Umberto Floris to house the museum, inaugurated in 1995.^[1]

The permanent collection consists of sculptural and graphic pieces by Nivola, who played a role in 20th century modernism as an artist who worked closely with architects.

Aside from exhibiting Nivola's work, the museum produces temporary exhibitions on a regular basis. These focus mainly on the relationship between art, architecture, and landscape, with a special interest on artists and movements that were close to Nivola. His friends included Le Corbusier, Jackson Pollock, Saul Steinberg, Willem de Kooning, Alexander Calder, and many other well-known mid-20th century artists.
