On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of its foundation, AEB Industriale has chosen Bologna's civic museums to celebrate and share this important milestone, offering the public a double gift: free admission to Bologna's Civic Museums over a weekend and the use of the widespread ART BEATS - Musei Civici di Bologna in Musica project, which combines art and music for an innovative way of enjoying and participating in the project.
On Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th September 2023, visitors will have exceptionally free access to seven museum venues selected from all six of the subject areas into which the Bologna Civic Museums Sector is divided, during their respective opening hours: Civic Archaeological Museum, Civic Medieval Museum, Municipal Art Collections, MAMbo - Bologna Museum of Modern Art, International Museum and Library of Music, Museum of Industrial Heritage and Civic Museum of the Risorgimento.
In addition to viewing and dialogue with the art, the public will be invited to listen to seven sound installations, each inspired by the associated museum collections, commissioned by AEB Industriale to an equal number of composers and musicians, exponents of Bologna's multifaceted art scene.
The visual appeal of these seven cultural venues in the city will thus be transformed into musical notes to offer visitors an immersive experience.
