Mudec@Home is born. The art experience: the Milanese museum venue has thought of a new way to allow the public to visit the great exhibitions set up inside the Museum of Cultures without moving from home and without losing the charm of an in-person visit. New formats of virtual guided tours to meet a need that is becoming more profound and structural: this is why Mudec will maintain these new museum activities even after the health emergency, even when people can then return to live museum access.
Mudec@Home will propose a series of initiatives with a strong experiential and emotional impact that will follow one another in the coming months, offering an experience that will not be a substitute for the ’physical’ visit to the exhibition or the in-person educational activities, but that will give differently fascinating emotions.
In addition, the museum is offering a great novelty: the first guided tour in DaD of the exhibition Robot. The Human Project, which has never yet been inaugurated, aimed at primary and secondary schools, entering fully as a school educational offering.
From April 1, Mudec is thus bringing schools into the museum with the help of new technologies and the aid of a robot that will allow students to explore the exhibition rooms from a distance. This is the first experience of Mudec@Home, a virtual guided tour lasting about 70 minutes, which will give teachers and students the opportunity to visit an exhibition remotely and study its topics that are for all intents and purposes part of the school curriculum. Robot. The Human Project will tell children about the technological, cultural and historical universe behind ... one’s cell phone. What historical and mental journey has man had to take to achieve this technical knowledge and awareness? What are the doubts, including moral ones, that technological innovation and robotics pose to human beings today?
Storytelling will characterize the first part of the guided tour, the webinar, a moment of in-depth study that teacher and students in the virtual class can undertake together, in DaD mode, thus interacting with each other and with the educator who will narrate the exhibition and take the place of the teacher in a real ’alternative’ classroom lesson. Video material, documents, the images of the works in the exhibition will stimulate questions, insights and insights. The second part of the guided tour will feature a journey inside the exhibition halls, thanks to the collaboration of Beyond International, Double Robotics’ sole partner for Italy, which has provided the Double co-bot (collaborative robot). Through the eyes of the Double robot, physically present in the exhibition, teacher and students will be able to take turns maneuvering the robot to move from room to room. The educator will gradually tell trivia and insights, thus stimulating interaction with the children.
