My precious mosaic
Sunday, 23 February 2025
h 10:30 - 12:00

" My precious mosaic "

With this activity we start with a tour of the Museum, focusing on Byzantine mosaic, an ancient jewel: in ancient times, wonderful surfaces with colorful designs were created using square tessellations and gold. Using the Opus Tessellatum technique, a design with circular movements was thus created, just as can be seen in Museums or sites of historical interest today. For the workshop activity, it will be the children themselves, with the support of their parents, who will create a design and color it with the glass mosaic tiles.

Prodigious amulets
Sunday, 30 March 2025

" Prodigious amulets "

For many peoples and throughout history, certain pieces of jewellery always had incredible power. They are capable of protecting the wearer, attracting happiness and health, and chasing away what creates malaise or sadness. The Museum preserves some “magical” jewellery, amulets and talismans that span centuries but retain their power intact. In the workshop, you can create your own prodigious amulet to hang around your neck, keep in your pocket or purse. Those who wish can bring along tiny items to personalize their talisman.

Designing a piece of jewellery, choosing materials, matching them, cutting them, shaping them, requires study and great experience.

The workshop focuses on the current theme of recycling: the activity starts with a visit-focused tour of the “Future Room,” in which “unusual” jewelry can be encountered, made from materials commonly recognized as waste materials. In the workshop then the children can create a piece of jewelry, such as a keychain, starting from a base to which bubble wrap and plastic can be added. A good way to raise awareness and convey the values and goals of Agenda 2030. Beauty is also encountered in recycled objects that take on a new preciousness, thanks to the creativity of those who made them.
