The Don Bosco House Museum reaches the end of the work of setting up the last rooms dedicated to the most significant figures of the Salesian educational mission: the groups of the Salesian Family, with each of the Saints and Blessed of reference, will thus be represented in their charismatic origin in order to transmit that very family atmosphere that Don Bosco dedicated to his children.
“With the opening of these new spaces, the setting up of the Don Bosco House Museum comes to an end. Anyone who has met the Saint of Youth in their life can find here the original spirit of Valdocco that has spanned the centuries and nations, giving shape to new experiences of the charism itself,” said Dr. Stefania De Vita, Director of the museum. “Through the proposal of museum itineraries, the accompaniment of our guides and the events that we constantly organize and that intend to create that subtle bridge between past and future, we wish to offer the possibility of returning to 'stealing Don Bosco's heart' to keep the heartbeat alive there where he lives.”
On Wednesday 8 September, Fr Á.F. Artime shall present these spaces.
On the same day, and always chaired by the Rector Major, the opening of the temporary exhibition "Lock Art" will also take place, then accessible to visitors from the following day, 9 September, until 21 November 2021.
The exhibition, created in collaboration with ArtFullFrame, expresses the special vision of 15 photographers from all over the world who narrate these pandemic times. Through the photographs on display, the Don Bosco House Museum intends to be the spokesperson for that family-based everyday life that has helped individuals overcome the complex moments of the lockdown, rediscovering the beauty of relationships and the extraordinary nature of the ordinary.
“Museums are compasses, they guide you on a beautiful journey, inside and outside of you. The visitors of Lock Art will meet different cultures and worlds looking through the lens of young photographers,” added Dr. De Vita on the theme of the "Lock Art" exhibition, whose curator, as artistic director and project manager, is Chiara Candellone Sticca.
