Living places. Recounting and enjoying museum experiences
The project
A project by Circolo dei lettori – the first public space in Italy dedicated to reading – that involves the Museo Egizio and two museums in the city of Chambéry: Musée des Beaux-arts and Les Charmettes. Maison de Jean-Jacques Rousseau. Cofinanced by the Interreg-Alcotra European Regional Development Fund, its objective is to use the power of narration to offer a new way of visiting places of art and culture. Thanks to the app, you can listen in English to stories by Altan, Niccolò Ammaniti and Antonio Manzini, Maylis De Kerangal, GauZ’, Nathalie Gendrot, Carlo Lucarelli, Alice Rohrwacher and Roberto Saviano, and enjoy your museum experience in a new way.
