Open Doors: il ciclo di talk per il museo partecipativo

Open Doors, an international series of talks, has been initiated by Fondazione Brescia Musei, Fondazione Scuola dei beni e delle attività culturali, and NEMO – Network of European Museum Organizations. Curated by Pierluigi Sacco from the University of Gabriele d'Annunzio in Chieti, the nine sessions will commence on May 25, 2022, at the Auditorium di Santa Giulia in Brescia. These discussions will explore European museum strategies, bringing together experts from cultural institutions, associations, and academic centers. The aim is to develop practical policies that redefine museums as participatory social hubs, moving beyond the traditional concepts of 'temple of knowledge' and 'entertainment machine.' Sacco highlights Italian examples like GAMEC, Farm Cultural Park in Favara, and CasermArcheologica in Sansepolcro. The project seeks to outline a mental map of opportunities and challenges for the museums' new role, adopting a hybrid physical-digital approach in the post-pandemic landscape.
