CULTURE
International Museum Day
20 May, 2020
#TheCulturaNonSiFerma, we've been saying this since the beginning of this pandemic and, of course, we couldn't let the National Day of Museums fade away in silence, just in this particular edition.

The International Day of Museums, promoted by the International Council of Museums, is celebrated worldwide on May 18. 18th May is the date that, in our country, coincided with the reopening of the Museums. Impossible to organize parties, events and extraordinary openings but, once again, the web has been able to remember this important appointment with a collective initiative. And we could miss the opportunity to play with our cars? 60 Alfa Romeo, 60 years of history and "a road to travel together" a phrase that represents us and that we are happy to share with the many Museums that have joined the initiative promoted by Museocity.

We would also like to add a little "homage" to you who follow us and read our newsletter with curiosity. Below you will find the podcast realized by "Museocity Coffee Break" to celebrate the International Museum Day. Guest is Michele Lanzinger who we had the pleasure of meeting some time ago at Museimpresa seminar. Even then we had the opportunity to appreciate his intervention and we were fascinated by his vision of a modern museum, an integral part of the landscape and social fabric, as well as cultural. We do not want to anticipate everything, but we leave you to listen to the interview curated by Laura Defendi, that many of you will have met at the Museum.

WE PRESENT TO YOU MICHELE LANZINGER

Michele Lanzinger has a degree in Geological Sciences and a PhD in Anthropological Sciences developing research on the first human population of the Alps in glacial and late glacial times.

He was president of ANMS, National Association of Scientific Museums, member of the ICOM Italy Board and of the Board of ECSITE, the Network of European Science Centres.

Under his management, the number of operators increases from 24 to 207 people (tpe/2014). He promotes the development of educational programs(130 thousand users/2013), events and important temporary exhibitions and a network of satellite museums distributed throughout Trentino, including a research and cooperation and development station in Tanzania.

The Museum is a MIUR accredited research institution with about 50 full-time equivalent researchers and has communication and corporate membership structures.

As the project manager of a new Science Museum to be built as part of an urban development project for the city of Trento, he is in charge of all the design and construction phases in relation to Renzo Piano Building Workshop.

In its first year of activity, the MUSE registered 548 thousand entries for a total of 630 thousand entries, including territorial offices.
