ARTOUR-O the MUST Temporary Museum
Ninth Act - or Multiculturality of Art in Italy
The main exhibition of the Temporary Museum has been introduced to the Grand Hotel Minerva but like every year the event has spread all over the city marking a route whose aim's to conjugate the contemporary Art with the historical structures: as the Museum of Bigallo, the Archeological Museum, the Santa Maria Novella Museum, the MNAF. Museo Nazionale Alinari della Fotografia and historical dwellings like Profumo Workshop Scent, J.K. Place and the Grand Cavour Hotel. We tried therefore to affirm once again the concept that Art has no borders neither of time neither of space.
