Lecture | The Museum Speaks for Itself
House museums evoke feelings and memories. A visit to these spaces is a journey into the environments and experiences of other eras—one that is, however, perceived in constant relation to the present. To mark the renewal of our curatorial approach and exhibition design, we invite the public to discover the new presentation of the Museum’s long-term exhibition and to attend a lecture where the results of the digitization of the photography collection—carried out by a young team (EXPERIMENTA Program)—will be presented.
Free admission, with prior registration required
Capacity: 40 participants
