Halloween is approaching and at MUSME everything is ready for a spine-chilling end of October: two events to experience Halloween in a different way, with crimes to solve, clues to gather, and mysteries of the human body to explore, you can look forward to experiences that will challenge you and reveal science from unexpected perspectives.
* Murderous Aperitif – Halloween Special

What if during the aperitif, in addition to snacks and drinks, a… murder occurred? Step into the shoes of a real detective, amidst the crime scene, autopsy, and interrogations, but don’t forget to recharge your batteries with a good aperitif! An immersive experience in collaboration with Teatro Nove Vite APS, similar to a murder dinner, but with a scientific twist to discover. Interrogate the suspects, gather clues, and perform the autopsy of the victim using the technology of a virtual Cadaver Lab.
* Halloween EsperiMUSME
Saturday, October 31, 2026 – at 3.30 p.m. – Cost 12€
On the occasion of Halloween, a special… spine-chilling EsperiMUSME lab arrives at MUSME! Starting from reading some fun stories about the most bizarre fears, we will discover together that fear is not just an unpleasant emotion: it is also an important mechanism that helps us recognize dangers and protect ourselves. With the help of Dr. Silvia Bertazzo, psychologist, we will follow the journey of fear from the brain to the rest of the body. We will also learn some strategies to better understand our fears, express them, and confront them. Finally, each participant will create a profile of the perfect little monster and a personal talisman of courage, a small symbolic object to remember what we discovered together.
