Touch, see, listen: at the Eremitani Museum, everyone can do it. It is with this goal that the Civic Museums of Padua have designed a small accessibility festival, which will enliven the autumn in the halls of the archaeological section, in the spaces of the floor dedicated to medieval and modern art, in the cloisters and inside the Scrovegni Chapel.
A good twenty events, from September 20 to December 4, including workshops and guided tours with experts, “to experience works of art in an accessible way,” says Andrea Colasio, the councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Padua, “and to ensure that beauty and culture can be fully experienced by all visitors.” In fact, those who cannot see will be able to touch or read through Braille, while those who cannot hear will be able to understand thanks to Sign Language.
The activities, some dedicated to children and others also for adult visitors, are completely free, but access will be exclusively through reservation, with some spots, on certain occasions, reserved for people with disabilities.
Reservations can be made by writing to museicivicipadova.prenotazioni@gmail.com or by calling 049/8204536 (Monday to Friday, from 9 am to 2 pm).
An autumn dedicated to accessibility at the Eremitani Museum! All events are free.
The activities are open to everyone; some places are reserved for people with disabilities.
The initiative is made possible thanks to the support of the Veneto Region L.R. 17/2019 – cultural welfare call.
