Giornata Nazionale delle Famiglie al Museo Diocesano di Ostuni

Sunday, October 13, 2024 marks the return of the National Day of Families at the Museum (F@Mu), an event that is renewed every year by connecting Italian museums, with the aim of making culture increasingly accessible, inclusive, and, this year, sustainable.
All editions of the F@Mu days have focused on different themes, capable of stimulating the interest and curiosity of different audiences, with particular attention to families and children. This year's theme focuses on ecology and centers the F@Mu day on an important and ambitious topic, environmental sustainability in the cultural field. The name chosen for this 2024 edition is "A Green Museum" and focuses on climate change and what good practices culture venues can adopt to reduce their environmental impact and implement a turnaround. The reason for choosing this topic is that, according to F@Mu, change can start from those children capable of finding, in a moment of fun and sharing, a new awareness of environmental issues and becoming advocates of a "green world" and a "green museum."
Once again this year, the Institution of the Museum of Preclassical Civilizations of Southern Murgia in Ostuni, in collaboration with the collective of businesses Ostuni Museo Diffuso, is pleased to participate in this important national initiative, dedicating an entire day to the environment and the beauty of nature.
On Sunday, October 13, at the Archaeological and Naturalistic Park of Santa Maria d'Agnano and the Diocean Museum of Ostuni, activities dedicated to families will be offered, during which visitors will learn about the flowers and plants in our territory and in works of art, as well as the important role of bees in nature.
Accompanying the Ostuni Museo Diffuso collective on this fascinating journey will be the Alveare Bianco company of Ostuni, which will guide both adults and children into the sweet world of bees and wax, involving participants in a fun and interesting workshop, turning them into "ceroplasts" for a day.
On Sunday, October 13 from 4 pm to 7 pm, visitors can learn about the plants and flowers in works of art and, through images and stories, focus on an extraordinary and mysterious work, the Anatomical Christ in wax. This interesting and rare artifact will be the starting point to discover the use of wax from ancient times to today. After the stories, everyone will be able to make small and personal candles thanks to the experience of the Alveare Bianco company.
"The Family Day at the Museum" is open to everyone, especially families with children aged between 4 and 12 years.
For the occasion, all participants will have access at a reduced rate.
