The forced closure of museums due to the pandemic has led to innovative solutions for art accessibility. The Museo storico-culturale della Provincia di Bolzano Castel Tirolo has launched avatar-guided tours for its exhibition "L'Arte può. Excursus su atteggiamenti artistici contemporanei," running until June 6. The tours allow visitors to explore 12 works through human-like avatars that interact with the pieces and other visitors. The exhibition is co-funded by the European Community through Erasmus+ and serves as a platform for mediation and learning across visual and performing arts, music, and literature, featuring artists from Liechtenstein, Germany, Austria, and Italy.
