How an art collection is born

Children and Families at VIVE 
Tour with Workshop for Children 
Sunday, 12 October, 4.00 PM

How is a collection born? What's a cabinet of curiosities? We'll answer these and other questions during a tour dedicated to the collections of Palazzo Venezia. The experience begins with an animated reading of the book "Monsters & Wonders. Time-traveling cabinets of curiosities" by Delphine Jacquot and Alexandre Galand. Afterward, we'll take a walk through the palace's main floor to discover porcelain, silverware, majolica, bronze statuettes, an armory and even a sea monster. This journey shows that every collection reflects not only the tastes of its collector but also of an entire era, both then and now. In the workshop, children will create their own personal art collection, gathering the "wonders" of Palazzo Venezia.

LOCATION:  Palazzo Venezia entrance, via del Plebiscito, 118
