Artequin Museum | Chile
16.09.2021 - 26.10.2021
The international tour of the exhibition “Magister Raffaello” now reaches Chile, to be hosted by the Artequin Museum, thanks to the support of the Italian Embassy and the Italian Cultural Institute.
Conceived as an educational project dedicated to children and families, with the mission of promoting art and creativity, the Artequin Museum is now located in a building with a peculiar character, making it a perfect stage for the exhibition: it is, in fact, the Chile pavilion built for the Universal Exhibition in Paris in 1889, subsequently dismantled at the end of the event and rebuilt in its current location.
Magister Art has always focused its attention on the educational aspects of the arts to engage visitors from an early age. The collaboration with the Artequin Museum is therefore the perfect opportunity to fully explore the potential of contents that Magister Art has created especially for children, developed in collaboration with leading experts from the educational sector such as Eva Montanari; an established writer and illustrator of children’s books.
Despite the limited duration of the exhibition, just forty day, Magister Raffaello was visited by over 5,800 people, while other 1,500 visitors chose the virtual tour format.
