Press release

The fifty new works that have recently been acquired by the museum will be displayed in this edition of “Acquisitions”. This is yet another chapter in the project spanning over a number of years that has as a goal the growth of the museum’s collection.
This project, which was started in 2006, is clear evidence of the museum’s constant evolution; this is a fundamental requirement for an institution that truly lives with the territory around it and whose intention is not just preservation, but communication. Thus the importance of a continuously growing collection that can be used to create a path though the more profound aspects of the works, going beyond the formal qualities of the works or the prestige they carry within themselves.
Educational initiatives, cultural meetings and all the museum’s various projects will obviously benefit from a large number of works that can be turned into tools to further increase knowledge.
A museum’s permanent collection mustn’t be considered a sort of secondary, almost incidental element: it should, in fact, become the frame that supports the museum itself. This should be the ground in which all the other exhibitions like seeds should be planted, making the whole picture even wider and offering an in-depth look into the themes that are developed in time.
