From 12 September to 3 October 2026
On Saturday 12th September and Saturday 3rd October, the Marcello Morandini Foundation offers two special events dedicated to children, with guided tours designed specifically to introduce children to the world of art in an engaging, fun, and interactive way.
The protagonist of the experience will be the new temporary exhibition by Antonio Barrese, an artist who, together with the curator Stefania Gaudiosi, will guide young visitors in discovering the exhibited works. Through light games, optical effects, and surprising visual illusions, children will be able to observe art with curious eyes, experiencing how shapes, colors, and perception can transform and interact with space.
A special opportunity to experience the museum in a creative way, stimulate the imagination, and discover, while having fun, the language of contemporary art.
