MUSLI: an integrated museum from school to children's books in Torino

Summary/Abstract: The Tancredi di Barolo Foundation established the Museum of School and Children’s Literature in Palazzo Barolo (Turin, Italy). In 20 0 8 started the new Museum itinerary project, dedicated to Children’s Literature’s history, to complete the exposition about school’s history. The new Museum itinerary, branded MUSLI (Museo della Scuola e del Libro per l'Infanzia - Museum of School and Children’s Literature), was completed during the 150th Italy Unification celebrations and was inaugurated on 23rd of November 2011. The new Museum itinerary is linked to the School Museum itinerary thanks to the Eredi Botta Historical Typography. Indeed, the book theme has always been present in the School Museum itinerary, which particularly investigates the book Cuore written by Edmondo De Amicis, comparing past and present school and literature. Under the banner “MUSLI: a Museum for everyone” a project has started with the purpose to grant an ever wider public the enjoyment of our patrimony, promoting an accessible knowledge of MUSLI collections and museum didactics.
