Today and tomorrow, September 21 and 22, 2019, European Heritage Days, the European event dedicated to cultural heritage, art, and culture, returns. In Italy, the Days are promoted by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, and this year’s theme is One, two, three ... art! Culture and Entertainment. All over Italy there will be ad hoc events: concerts, performances, special itineraries, guided tours, educational workshops, and extraordinary openings. For the day of Saturday and Sunday, entrances are at orindary cost, while Saturday evening (i.e. today) in many state museums you will enter at the symbolic price of one euro. The times from which the symbolic price is triggered vary from museum to museum: to consult the list you need to the appropriate page on the MiBAC website. Not all museums will give this option, so it is necessary to inquire in advance.
“The European Heritage Days,” said the minister of cultural heritage, Dario Franceschini, “are an important event to bring the richness and diversity of cultural heritage closer to everyone and make it known. It is a way to encourage participation and transmit the values of protection and European identity to new generations. This edition will also be a good popular festival.”
MiBACT has created a page on its website where you can find the list of participating museums as well as all the initiatives. In addition, those who want to follow the initiative on social can do so by connecting to the channels of the @museumsitaliani or by following the official hashtags: #museumsitaliani, #EHDs, #GEP2019, #UnduetreArte.
European Heritage Days are back. In many museums tonight you can enter with only 1 euro |
