Madre, the contemporary art museum of the Fondazione Donnaregina in Naples, is also intensifying its presence on social media with the Madre door-to-door project: a program of new content, works and special contributions, starting today Sunday, March 15, for the #iorestoacasa campaign. It is a rich digital program made up of appointments with fixed days and times, which will bring ... art to the home.

Original productions of the museum, with which its protagonists and its history are told).

Alongside Madre door-to-door, the museum will continue to offer thematic cues and insights, contests and Spotify playlists, as well as the publication of a call-to-action for artists and creatives, who are called to reflect on some key words and themes to imagine a new role for art and different forms of enjoyment of the works.

As Minister Dario Franceschini also advised us, we have been working on a review designed exclusively for social. We would like to continue to be close to our visitors, just as the entire museum staff continues to be connected, although we are all physically distant. In fact, as per our directive, we have activated smart working modes, which provide us with an additional opportunity to rethink work patterns and rhythms as well.”
