Ancona – Museo della Città

The Museum of the City of Ancona should be the essential handbook for approaching the complex and extraordinary history of Ancona. It is a didactic museum inaugurated in 2000 which, through reconstructive models, didactic panels, archaeological finds, works of art, topographical maps and documents, illustrates in chronological sequence characters and historical events important for the Marche capital. All the materials are used to make a continuous and constant comparison between the ancient city and the modern city.

In 2018 a new part of the City Museum was inaugurated: Spazio Presente. It is a large open space environment, which is going to house a conference room, the Ancona photographic library and a series of digital devices that will narrate the history of Ancona from 1860 until today.

At present, the museum is frequented by citizens and associations, which visit it on holidays; they take friends and distant relatives to tell the story of their city. We would like this place to be enriched with emotional cues that can continue encouraging citizens to come back again and again, so that new curiosities and new stories can be discovered every time.

Museomix will be an opportunity to discuss and rethink museum spaces in order to give the visitor a more immersive and interesting experience.
