Ombre, giochi di luce e trasparenze. La nuova nuova teca progettata da #RichardMeier per il Museo dell'#AraPacis è modulata sul contrasto luce e penombra per dare continuità tra esterno e interno, e dare maggior risalto all'altare. • 📷 credits @hop

Visitare il Museo delle Mura significa entrare in un patrimonio archeologico di grande valore, che siamo chiamati a preservare e a raccontare insieme a voi. Per consentire a tutte e tutti una visita serena e rispettosa degli spazi monumentali, l’accesso è regolato: possono entrare fino a 20 persone alla volta e in ogni sala è consentita la presenza contemporanea di non più di 5 visitatori. Nei momenti di maggiore affluenza potrebbe essere necessaria una breve attesa prima dell’ingresso; vi ringraziamo per la pazienza e vi chiediamo di limitare la permanenza nel museo a circa un’ora, così da favorire un ricambio regolare e una migliore esperienza di visita. Per motivi di sicurezza la terrazza della torre non è accessibile. Durante il percorso sul camminamento esterno vi invitiamo a seguire la segnaletica e a non oltrepassare le protezioni. Grazie per la collaborazione e buona visita al Museo delle Mura.
