MUSE! With you again

“With you again. safely, eagerly”.

This is the motto chosen by the MUSE – Science Museum of Trento to face this time after the lockdown.

After more than two months of alternative activity on the web - with more than 100 new videos, 100,000 views, 5,000 reactions to posts and more than 15,000 listening sessions on MUSE *On Air* - on 2 June the Science Museum reopens its doors to the public: new ways of access and exploration, and a calendar of proposals, both indoor and outdoor, designed to guarantee a serene and unhindered welcome back to the museum.

You can visit the six floors of the MUSE (online booking required), the “Sciences and Humanitas” centre of the Palazzo delle Albere, the large garden with its “Summertime” schedule, and the satellite museums are the Viote Alpine Botanical Garden (on Monte Bondone) and the adjacent Astronomical observatory "Terrazza delle stelle", the Lake Ledro Stilt house Museum, and the Geological Museum of the Dolomites in Predazzo.

The MUSE's restart guarantees all necessary and useful safety measures, and is at the same time the beginning of a new dialogue with its public, a sign of cultural renewal.

At the heart of this new phase are the green spaces around the MUSE: its large garden, vegetable gardens and terraces, in constant touch with the "mountain" sections of Mount Bondone, will become an outdoor "experiential space" where visitors can enjoy every day, from 5 June, activities and games for small groups, astronomical observations, nature walks, artistic performances, film screenings and workshops on sustainability and urban biodiversity.

As for the exhibitions, from 2 June, you can visit “A collection for beyond the plastic”:

gigantic tapestries in recycled plastic set up at Palazzo delle Albere, and at the MUSE the multimedia installation "Nautilus", which on 5 June will host a dj set denouncing the plastic pollution in the seas, and the exhibition “Cosmo Cartoons. Space exploration in science and pop culture ”.

The new photographic exhibition "Milimani. Biodiversità in quota tra il Tropico del Cancro e del Capricorno" (Biodiversity at altitude between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn) in the Viote Alpine Botanical Garden is dedicated to high mountain intertropical environments. Among the novelties to come is also the exhibition "Handimals", which from 19 June will exhibit in Trento gigantographies and paintings of the famous animals painted on the hands by the artist and body painter Guido Daniele.

At the same time, the "second life" of the MUSE will continue, with new digital projects, radio podcasts and "remote" exploration initiatives.
