Art and culture

CULTURAL ITINERARY
The museum-laboratory represents an exceptional synthesis of preservation, exhibition, and research in the field of artworks, following the principles of the ICOM Code of Ethics. This unique space not only provides the opportunity to admire artworks but also actively engages visitors in the activities of study and research. Here, visitors can directly interact with the artworks and address, alongside the creators themselves, the most relevant themes of contemporary socio-cultural debate.
Through a combination of permanent and temporary exhibitions, the museum-laboratory creates a dynamic and stimulating environment where art becomes a starting point for reflection and discussion. Artists are actively involved in the process, enabling the audience to fully grasp the context and meaning of the exhibited works. Additionally, the museum provides spaces dedicated to experimentation and innovation, encouraging the creation of new expressive forms and interdisciplinary dialogue.
Thanks to this inclusive and interactive vision, the museum-laboratory emerges as a vibrant and participatory cultural center, capable of promoting understanding and appreciation of contemporary art and contributing significantly to the cultural discourse of society.
