On Friday, March 28, 2025 , starting at 9:30 am, we will participate in "Studiare al Museo/Studiare il Museo, the fifth edition of the online Study Day organized in spring by AMACI – Association of Italian Contemporary Art Museums with the support of the General Directorate for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry of Culture.
The initiative represents an important opportunity to reflect on the changes that are affecting contemporary art museums, their mission and operating methods in the current context.
The museum is configured as a place of complexity: it collects, preserves, interprets and exhibits cultural heritage, material and immaterial, playing a crucial role also in research and training through constant dialogue with universities, academies, AFAM institutes (Higher Education in Art, Music and Dance), artists, students and researchers. Not to mention the valorization and education projects that promote the involvement of the public in museums and the artistic practices implemented by artists and researchers on the themes of the contemporary, heritage, education and relationships. All these themes are linked to the museum and the contemporary, they need to be reread and re-proposed with non-obvious and non-traditional methods.
Themes and program of the Study Day
The fifth AMACI Study Day offers a discussion between experts in the field, with the aim of identifying good practices that recognize the educational role of museums and strengthen their synergies with the Ministry of Culture, the Ministry of Education and Merit, universities, AFAM institutes and other institutions.
There will be three in-depth sessions:
- Museum as a training body as a body qualified to train school staff, as per the directive of the Ministry of Education and Merit n.170/2016
- The Museum and the Academic World on the relationship between museums and research centers
- The Museum, the artists and the artists on the museum as a centre for research and relationships
The DG-ERIC contribution is scheduled during the first session, with a speech by Dr. Alessandra Franzone, director of Service I – Studies Office of the Directorate-General for Education, Research and Cultural Institutes.
The three sessions will be introduced by a preliminary survey on the state of the AMACI Museums, in relation to the proposed themes, curated by experts in the sector, institutional representatives of the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Education and Merit, and by exponents of the academic and artistic world.
The initiative, which is free with registration, takes place online and is fully translated simultaneously into English to allow access to a foreign audience.
