WORLD A few years ago, the Museums of the World (represented by ICOM) began to wonder what a museum was and meant for contemporary culture today. Finally, after a long process of discussion and debate (at times not at all peaceful), on 24 August 2022 it was shared and approved the new definition.
WORLD Since ICOM’s creation in 1946, the ICOM definition played a central role for museums and museum professionals and became a reference in the international museum community.
PISTOIA A few summers ago, while we were hosting the #CCTravellers in the Italian Capital of Culture 2017, we discovered a place that we fell in love with at the first encounter. Yes, with Castagno di Piteccio it was love at first sight. And among the Creative Curious Travellers, who came to Tuscany from various parts of the World, with whom we repeatedly visited this tiny #BorgoMuseo a few kilometers from the city, there’s even someone who told us: “it is one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen”.
PARIS without its Tour Eiffel. Impossible even to imagine, today. But if some French intellectuals would have won their battle, the Iron Lady (Dame de Fer) might have survived for maybe just twenty years or maybe less. The French originally hated it. If not all, certainly an important group of high-profile artists, thinkers and creatives who signed a petition to protest against the tower during its construction. They expressed all their hate towards this “useless” and “monstrous” monument with a love letter to their City of Lights (Ville Lumière) and finesse, published on Valentine’s Day 1887.

PRATO How Anna & Anastasia of Travel On Art have started to know and appreciate Prato and then how Prato has revolutionized the way they sleep. From the backstage at the Centro Pecci to the sleep concert at Lottozero. Here’s the second story by the #CCTravellers2016!
PRATO One month before the reopening of the Centro Pecci, the first centre dedicated to contemporary art in Italy, it is its architect to tell us three important things about this place, meant as a space for all contemporary arts but above all as a public space. In fact, architect Maurice Nio addresses us – citizens of Prato, Tuscany, Italy, Europe, World: in this short video, he launches three messages, including a very curious invitation… 🙂
RIO DE JANEIRO The first urban cable car in Brazil is really a new kind of museum? A museum that showcases the poorest citizens but at a safe distance? A museum where the keepers are soldiers who, instead of supervising the works of the exhibition, ensure the safety of visitors?
PARIS Inside a dream!
