The virtual museum, which has already started, but which will be developed further over time, intends to be a digital presentation of the 4,000 square meters and 27 physical exhibition spaces of “Casa Don Bosco”. The enterprise is not easy, because the Don Bosco House Museum is first and foremost a place to live and experience: it is there that you can breathe the miracle of the life of a saint who changed the lives of thousands of young people of his time and, thanks to his successors, of millions of young people since then.
But in this moment in which, due to the pandemic, all the museums in Italy are closed, on the website www.museocasadonbosco.it you can embark upon a virtual visit: enter the room where Don Bosco slept and work, observe the architectural development di Valdocco, admire the representations that the artists gave of Don Bosco and his work with young people over the ages.
In this way the virtual museum tries to make known the documents of the foundation of the Salesian house, the original photographs, Don Bosco's clothes, small bits of Salesian history to the many people who - today because of the pandemic, tomorrow even if only for the distance - cannot physically reach it.
