June has arrived once again, and the city is celebrating “on the streets.” The Archaeological Museum, situated at the crossroads of journeys through memory and storytelling, has long been prepared for new dialogues. Meaningful dialogues between people and objects.
An encounter aimed at understanding, comparing representations, and articulating views regarding the meanings that each exhibit in the Museum embodies and that every archaeologist—since the Museum’s founding—represents.
Conversations that converge in their emphasis on the timeless value of the exhibits—not only as art, history, technique, and culture, but also as small moments of respite from a daily life that often overwhelms us.
