"Ninety percent of the works or artifacts are in deposits, as they are in the rest of the world: the problem is that in Italy the heritage is so widespread that about 5 million works/exhibits are kept in the deposits of the museums belonging to the Directorate General alone, while about 480,000 are exhibited," Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano said at the hearing before the Culture Committees of the House and Senate.
"You can think of a long-term strategy that can lead some major museums to generate new exhibition spaces, perhaps even in other cities, as some major international museums have done,“ the minister added. ”I talked about this with the director of the Uffizi and with the director of the National Archaeological Museum in Naples: some great museums because of the amount of artifacts they keep in their deposits can be duplicated. We can think about the Uffizi Two either in Florence or in another city in Tuscany or on the international front, as the Louvre has done. We can think about another MANN location in Palazzo Fuga where we can display all those artifacts that are in storage. That would be a useful work," he concluded.
Sangiuliano: 90 percent of the works are in storage. We could think about a Uffizi 2 or another MANN location. |
