The Jewellery Museum is a place full of stimuli in which to spend precious time together dedicated to the discovery of the fascinating art of goldsmithing.
Over the weekend, themed laboratory activities and guided itineraries allow young and old to get lost in the Museum Rooms and immerse themselves in the sparkling world of jewels, discovering their functions and meanings.
A workshop focused on the current theme of recycling with workshop activities dedicated to the creation of a jewel starting from a base to which bubble wrap and plastic can be added.
Magic games and weaves to discover how ductile a thread is. Next comes the creation of an antique jewel with copper wire.
After the visit to the museum, we delve deeper into the preciousness of another "jewel", the design created with the mosaic technique, which the families themselves will experiment with by creating a design with colored tiles
The Museum preserves some "magical" jewels, amulets and talismans that span centuries but keep their power intact. In the laboratory, you can create a prodigious amulet to hang around your neck and keep in your pocket or bag. Those who wish can bring tiny objects with them to personalize their talisman.
Designing a jewel, choosing the materials, combining them, cutting them, and shaping them, requires study and great experience. In the museum, we will be inspired by the jewels on display to understand how important the chosen theme and the project are, even before the actual realization. Nature, art, architecture, history... there are many sources of inspiration.
An interactive visit that will allow children and adults to touch the raw material from which precious stones magically worked to create jewels are derived. A dive to discover aesthetics in nature.

Designing a jewel, choosing the materials, combining them, cutting them, shaping them, requires study and great experience. In the Museum we will let ourselves be inspired by the jewels on display to understand how important the chosen theme and the project are, even before the actual realization. Nature, art, architecture, history... there are many sources of inspiration. In the workshop, each participant will be able to choose their favorite theme and design their own jewel to "walk around" their creativity...
A mysterious eye, a pillar, a knot, a bizarre creature. These are just four of the most used amulets by the ancient Egyptians, each with a particular function. An amulet is a magical object that can be worn on the body or attached to clothing and even hidden in the bandages of mummies. Its purpose is to defend the wearer from dangers and threats. In the laboratory, we will create a personal amulet to keep our fears away.
For the ancient Egyptians, hieroglyphic writing had a sacred and magical value. Since anything written or drawn had the power to become real, the hieroglyphics had to be executed as accurately as possible. To turn into something real, they had to be perfect, beautiful. In Egyptian, the word nefer meant beautiful but also good. In the laboratory, we will transform words into ornaments... making some hieroglyphs even more "precious", the meaning of which refers to the world of jewels and perfection.
Over the centuries, the images and atmospheres associated with ancient Egypt have never ceased to inspire artists, craftsmen, stylists and musicians. Even today, the echo of the charm of a millenary culture is felt. Some of the jewels in the collection tell of a phenomenon known as Egyptomania. At the museum, we will go in search of jewels that "speak" of Egypt. In the laboratory, each participant will design a contemporary jewel inspired by pharaonic luxury and opulence.
