Lecco, #IMUSEINONSIFERMANO: the new social campaign of Si.MUL

Lecco, The museum centers of the Lecco Urban Museum System, closed to the public due to the latest national provisions regarding the containment of the covid-19 contagion, they don't stop their dissemination action and start new virtual visits on the official social channels: the Sistema Museale Urbano Lecchese Facebook page and the si.mul account on Instagram. The social campaign #imuseinonsifermano thus also adheres to the initiative promoted by the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism "Culture does not stop", aimed at encouraging the social activity of museums during the emergency.

Weekly focuses, posts, videos, stories and mini-quizzes: the curiosities and information will be many and such as to raise awareness of the historical-artistic, literary and cultural heritage preserved in the rooms of the city's museum centers. The campaign has already started with the presentation of a new entry from the Natural History Museum of Palazzo Belgiojoso: the unpublished herbarium of Carlo Vercelloni.

From this week the social campaign will take you to discover the daily work of the museum staff, who are developing two new guides for the Gallery of Modern Art of Villa Manzoni and for the Gallery of Contemporary Art of Palazzo delle Paure. Through anecdotes and curiosities it will be possible to learn more about the most interesting paintings kept in the art galleries. In a fun and engaging way, Si.MUL intends to keep contact with citizens alive, in the belief that the cultural mission of museums is fundamental especially in a complex moment like the current one.

“The municipal administration and Si.MUL – comments the councilor for culture of the Municipality of Lecco Simona Piazza – join this important campaign promoted by MiBACT, designed precisely to remedy the closure of museums. We do it actively, with a concrete action which, while not overriding the safety requirements, offers citizens the opportunity to enjoy our muselae cultural heritage through small events, initiatives and moments of sharing. These proposals join those already promoted by ViDi for the exhibition dedicated to Scapigliatura and set up at the Palazzo delle Paure, the services made available by the municipal library, above all the home delivery of magazines, books, DVDs and CDs , to the System's MediaLibraryOnline, enhanced thanks to the possibility of downloading up to 4 multimedia contents per month, and to the great theater project developed in recent days and aimed at the little ones".
