On Saturday, October 3 at 4:30 p.m., the Bottacin Museum opens its halls to “Escape from Bottacin“: two teams, an inheritance to recover, and sixty minutes to solve the case.
The event, completely free and with limited spaces, is part of the project, sponsored by the Municipality of Padova, Kreo art lab.
For once, entering the Bottacin Museum, in the context of the Civic Museums of Padova, observing carefully will not only serve to better understand a collection. It might be the only way to find a treasure.
The premise seems like the beginning of an adventure story: Nicola Bottacin has left an inheritance to recover, and to win it, intuition, observational skills, and the ability to work together will be necessary. Participants will step into the shoes of a skilled gang of thieves and, after an introductory guided tour of the museum, will be divided into two teams.
From that moment, the stopwatch will start: sixty minutes to reconstruct a chain of riddles, interpret the clues scattered throughout the halls, and reach the final solution before the opponents.
