FAMU is the most important cultural event dedicated to girls and boys in Italy which promotes and facilitates meetings between families and the many exhibition venues that enrich our country. FAMU helps educate the little ones, but also teenagers aged 12-16, to enjoy cultural content, making museums and their offerings increasingly "family friendly".
“Open museum” is the theme chosen for this year: an invitation and a clear intent right from the name, aimed at continuing to support the principles of inclusiveness and hospitality. Thus this year's edition aims to present to museums and families a topic of great importance, that of museum accessibility, which is also very dear to the museums of Braida.
The FAMU day in fact represents a significant stage for the Craveri Museum and Palazzo Traversa, as for the first time the "Social Stories" will be available to the public: particular texts, written according to specific criteria, which describe a circumstance in a clear and concise way or a concept. In fact, their aim is to help people with autism to better understand the situations and social events they encounter in their lives and therefore they can be an important aid when visiting the museum. The initiative was born thanks to a training course undertaken by museum operators by the Paideia Foundation.
Among the other tools that can be used, there is also an audio guide.
