The activities aim to make encounters with the decorative arts opportunities for cultural growth for all and not only for those who already have the background knowledge allowing them to appreciate the objects on display. There are two different interpretative approaches to the rich Accorsi Collection proposed by Didactic Department of the Accorsi Museum: a stylistic-formal analysis which examines the works from the standpoint of their materials, the techniques and the forms used for their creation; a historical-cultural interpretation of the objects which evidences the value of them as concrete historical documents and testimonial of the tastes and life styles of society in the seventeen-hundreds. The Accorsi Museum is deeply linked to Turin and to the important role of this city in the XVIII century, but it also represents, with its Art works, different countries: you can find, close to each other, Chinese and German porcelain, Piedmont and French furniture, European and Oriental carpets, ivory, ebony and motherpearl; the rooms show Pietro Accorsi’s taste, the taste of a man of the XX Century; the organization of the museum opens a door on the future and the permanent collection receives several visitors every day. Languages, ideas, interpretations, make the complex structure of the museum, the real value of which is really its variety. In conjunction with the Italian Association for the Blind, a permanent tactile path has been created, and in conjunction with the National Association for the Hearing Impaired, a guided visit in LIS can be requested. |
