One of the Museum's objectives is also to lend the works for free to other Museums, for exhibitions on the theme of Love. The Museum is located at Villa di Spicciano in Vaiano (PO) Tuscany.

10 works will be chosen by a qualified Jury as SYMBOL of LOVE 2025 and will be exhibited at the Museum of Love on the occasion of the International Days of Memory (April 5-6, 2025) and subsequently in other prestigious locations.

The exhibition at MUG, introduced by Vittorio Guidi and Roberto Casati,  will be visitable by appointment by calling 348-3020538 or  [email protected]. Via Matteo Civitali, 33 - Forte dei Marmi.
