Museums curate the city, but only virtually: Milan Museocity 2021 kicks off

Kicking off today through March 7 is the 2021 edition of Milano Museocity, which is entirely online due to the new closure of museums due to the region’s move into the orange zone. The initiative is promoted by the City of Milan | Culture and implemented in collaboration with the MuseoCity Association. Milano Museocity aims to raise awareness of the rich artistic heritage of the city’s museums.

The museums involved virtually open their doors to the public, offering hundreds of appointments including guided tours, virtual tours, workshops for children, new content, lectures, meetings, special initiatives, following a common thread: Museums heal the city, emphasizing the cultural and social function of museums even in dark times, when the therapeutic, consoling and soothing power of art and the treasures kept in museums, each with its own history and connotation, is revealed. This year, more than 85 public and private institutions, including art museums, history museums, science museums, house museums, artists’ houses, archives and business museums spread throughout the city, with some “forays” into the metropolitan area, are participating and offering a rich program of digital events.

The full program is available at www.museocity.it , at www.yesmilano.it and on the MuseoCity app.
