Join us for a week-long series of events at Palazzo Falson in celebration of International Museum Day, inspired by this year’s theme “The Future of Museums in Rapidly Changing Communities.”
The aim of this initiative is to raise awareness of the evolving role of museums, as spaces for learning, reflection, and dialogue, and to highlight that our responsibilities extend far beyond preservation alone. This year, we take inspiration from Olof Gollcher’s passion for art and culture, two important factors of society that connect people and communities.

Join us in the lead-up to International Museum Day for a special tour of Palazzo Falson and explore the museum's unique architecture, detailed patterns and rich textures found within the collection and let them inspire your drawings.
