CAMeC for All

A NEW EXHIBITION SPACE FOR ALL

Thanks to a design free of perceptive and sensorial barriers, visitors with diverse sensory and mobility needs can immerse themselves in the exhibition experience in full autonomy.
The museum navigation system designed for blind or partially sighted visitors features tactile paving, Braille
materials, audio descriptions of the artworks, as well as reproductions and replicas for tactile exploration. Facilities for deaf and hard of hearing visitors include videos with subtitles and Italian Sign Language (LIS) explanations.

THE WORKS ON DISPLAY 

The eight works on display have been selected with consideration for all abilities and particularty for blind or partially sighted visitors, who can engage with tactile exploration. Comprising five paintings and three sculptures, the display underscores the relevance of the CAMeC collections In both a national and an international context. The oldest work, dating back to 1949 by Renato Guttuso, holds significance as the winner of the inaugural edition of the ‘Golfo della Spezia’ National Painting Prize, and the first painting in CAMeC’s oldest collection – the La Spezia civic art collection, which has continued to grow as a result of this prestigious cultural event. The works by Baj, Berrocal, Capogrossi, Dubuffet, Kosuth and Mirko belong to the Cozzani collection. This comprehensive assembly or works was brought together with refined and perceptive taste by the La Spezia collector and bequeathed to the Museum. Luca Matti’s painting is a more recent acquisition and reflects our commitment to the continuous enhancement of the museum’s permanent collection.
