The appointment with "Walking with the Director" of the Upper Garda Museum returns again this month. On Thursday 8 May at 6 p.m. there will be a new exceptional guided tour together with the director Matteo Rapanà, a special opportunity to discover the museum's collections and curiosities directly from the voice of the person who guides it every day, in a journey full of stories, details and new perspectives.
A special afternoon for everyone on Saturday 10 May: at the Museo e Parco della Rocca, families can discover the world of archaeology in a fun and interactive way. From 14.00 to 18.00 engaging activities, games and guided tours designed for young and old. Children can transform themselves into little explorers of the past with a simulated archaeological excavation (recommended for 8 to 12 years old).
On Sunday 18 May at 10.30 a.m. the Museo Alto Garda proposes USCIO, an engaging experience between nature, history and performance art. An initiative that combines a guided tour along the evocative Sentiero della Pace with an itinerant contemporary dance performance, realised in collaboration with Seesaw Project. USCIO is a danced wandering, a poetic and corporeal journey through trenches and walls, invisible thresholds and margins laden with memory. The body becomes a boundary: it falls, resists, gets up, glides along the places where the fate of peoples and individuals was decided. A journey that culminates at Forte Garda with the immersion in the exhibition "WARS. Beyond borders. Inside peoples'. The latter is a visual and narrative journey through wars, migrations and hopes. Powerful images tell of Myanmar, Ukraine, Ethiopia, Colombia and other places where borders have been trenches, but also bridges to a possible future. A journey in four sections, between Forte Garda and Forte Batteria di Mezzo, to reflect on what separates, but also on what unites us.
The project is part of the Year of the Euregio Museums 2025, with the motto "1525-2025. Museum. Think beyond!", to investigate the conflicts of yesterday and today, and imagine a more just society.
