Sunday at the museum

By means of the Province’s Council Decision no. 1496/2015 (September 2015), Trentino offers visitors free admission to its so-called Provincial Museums, on the first Sunday of every month (and on Trentino’s Autonomy Day - 5 September, every year).

The Provincial Museums are the following:

Muse (Science Museum), with the exhibition Genoma umano. Quello che ci rende unici (Human genome. What makes us unique);

Mart - Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Rovereto, which includes the Casa d’arte futurista Depero; the first is hosting until Sunday 2 September the exhibition Viaggio in Italia: I paesaggi dell’Ottocento dai Macchiaioli ai Simbolisti (Italian Journey 19th-Century Landscapes from the Macchiaioli to the Symbolists); the latter is hosting the exhibition "Manu propria.Il segno calligrafico come opera d'arte" (Manu propria. The Calligraphic Mark as Work of Art): from the Mart collections, an exhibition devoted to the relationship between art and writing in the artistic practices of the 20th century;

Castello del Buonconsiglio (Buonconsiglio Castle) and, for the latter’s other five sites, see  their respective opening season and times: Castel Thun, Castel Beseno, Castello di Stenico, Castel Caldes;

and the Museo degli usi e costumi della gente trentina (Museum of the habits and customs of the people of Trentino).

In addition to them, also the museums run by the Department for Cultural Heritage offer free admission:

S.A.S.S. Spazio Archeologico Sotterraneo del Sas - Tridentum (Tridentum S.A.S.S. - Underground Archaeological Site SASS),

the Museo delle Palafitte di Fiavé (Fiavè Pile dwelling Museum) ,

and the Museo Retico (Rhaetian Museum) of Sanzeno;  

It’s an unmissable opportunity, since museums often schedule exhibition openings or other interesting events on the first Sunday of every month.

Last but not least, other museums in Trentino join the “Sunday at the museum” initiative; please see their websites.
