Breve descrizione del progetto
The Education Department of Museo Omero has been creating accessible and inclusive workshops for everyone for years, based in particular on the sense of touch. In this experience, we applied our methodological approach to the exhibition "Touching beauty" Maria Montessori- Bruno Munari.
The workshop "come ti pare" ("as you like it") included a visit to the exhibition "Touching beauty" and the workshop about the creation of a "come ti pare", i.e. a tactile book. The children were guided to discover pieces of works, materials and the artistic activity of Maria Montessori and Bruno Munari through the sense of touch. The exhibition "Touching beauty" was aimed at considering the touch from an aesthetic perspective. The question we asked the children before the visit was the following: Is it possible to recognize beauty even by touch?
The children touched materials, surfaces, works, objects and books with their eyes closed and open. These objects were placed on colored tables. The children let their faces be caressed by the tactile forest of Munari and entered the Montessori hall. Then, they went upstairs into the laboratory space

- On the tables dedicated to the Leather of things and materials, the children were asked to touch the various surfaces of the tactile tables and then asked to focus on the different emotions they felt
- On the table called Alphabets and tactile narratives, the letters of Maria Montessori were presented and a book by Bruno Munari was read. Finally, the Tactile Messages for a blind little girl from Munari were touched
