Marino Marini Museum participates in the first Biennale of Museums in India and the World

From March 22-28, 2021, the first Biennial of Museums in India and the world will be held in the Bihar Museum in Patma, in attendance than online, and an Italian museum will also participate: the Museo Marino Marini of Florence.

Organized by the Department of Arts, Culture and Youth Policy of the Government of Bihar, the Museum Biennial aims to enhance India’s museum heritage by offering an overview of the core collections of some of the world’s museums. The aim is to raise public awareness of the significance and importance of India’s museum culture by fostering understanding and developing a sense of national identity.

The event will alternate virtual tours, curated by national and international museums, with streaming links and in-person participation at the Bihar Museum in Patma. The Marino Marini Museum will participate with a virtual tour to showcase the collection of one of Italy’s greatest sculptors and the exhibition spaces in which it is housed, an expression of Italy’s architectural history, evidenced by Leon Battista Alberti’s Rucellai Chapel, and the restoration and layout carried out by architects Bruno Sacchi and Lorenzo Papi.

“I accepted with great pleasure the invitation of the Italian Cultural Institute of New Delhi to participate, with a video contribution, in this important event,” said Patrizia Asproni, president of the Marino Marini Museum in Florence, “with a highly symbolic value for India and the international museum world. An important signal of how art and culture can unite different people and cultures at a time of great global changes. We are, therefore, honored,” Asproni added, "to bear the testimony of the Marini Museum, which has always been open to dialogue between different cultures and innovation. I want to emphasize here that precisely one of the winners of the Playable Museum Award, an international call promoted each year by the museum to shape the museum of the future thanks to the ideas of creatives and visionaries from all over the world, was Arvind Sanjeev, a young interaction designer and software engineer from Kerala, awarded by Yahoo-Accenture among the 100 ’Most Promising Innovators. A constant and uninterrupted dialogue, then, with India and its creative energy."
