Art news that's not medieval, but interesting nonetheless. An article in today's New York Times reports on the new "people-friendly" campaign that the National Museum of Rome has begun at the Palazzo Massimo.
The Palazzo's ancient art collection is being redisplayed, with new lighting, some new objects, and wine tastings for the adults, and art workshops for the kids. An interesting turn of events for the staid Italian museums of the past, whose attitude was to let the art speak for itself, no marketing involved. What do you think of this new (dare we say American?) attitude toward making the arts more "available" to their audience?
Original NYT article in the Globespotters section.
