THE ENJOYMENT OF THE ECCLESIASTICAL CULTURAL HERITAGE: THE EXPERIENCE OF THE AMEI
Sponsored and organized by AMEI – Association of Italian Ecclesiastical Museums
Session I – Ecclesiastical Museums and Accessibility

THE ASSOCIATION OF ITALIAN ECCLESIASTIC MUSEUMS was founded in 1996 to coordinate the many ecclesiastical museums, both large and small, in Italy: it therefore carries out mentoring, liaison and support for ecclesiastical and religious museums, offering its members tools and opportunities for growth, training and comparison.
They are museums in step with the times, open and up-to-date on the most sensitive issues of modern museology. These include the challenge of accessibility in order to think of museums that can accommodate and communicate with the greatest number of people, having increasingly differentiated needs, to concretely become places of exchange and inclusion. The papers by Laura Marino and Katia Buratti propose some possible keys to interpretation offered, in this regard, by the experience of the Diocesan Museums of Cuneo and Jesi.

Speakers:

– Laura Marino, director of the Diocesan Museum of Cuneo – AMEI director.
“Not just steps. The challenges of accessibility“
– Katia Buratti, Diocesan Museum of Jesi – AMEI Directorate.
“Diocesan Museum of Jesi: strategies for inclusion of people with sensory and intellectual disabilities.”

Chair: Giovanna Cannata, Diocesan Museum of Catania – AMEI Directorate

The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 16 from 3:30 to 4:10 p.m. at the Gauguin Room
