The Civic Museum of Archaeology and the City of Savona and its educational activities

The Civic Museum of Archaeology and the City of Savona, based on the Priamàr in the Palazzo della Loggia, will also prepare for the school year 2023-2024, for all schools of all levels, the educational workshops that have been, since its opening in 1990, one of the excellences of the museum structure. It is precisely on this aspect that it is significant how the Savona Museum came second, in 2016/17, in the vote of experts in the field at the fourth edition of the “Francovich Prize,” an award “destined for the museum or archaeological park that, at the national level, represents a case of best practice in museographic layout, educational-communicative activities and scientific quality that can adequately represent the themes of post-classical archaeology.”

The museum is free of architectural barriers and thus allows the visit of people with mobility impairments. Pupils who are blind or visually impaired will be able to follow the tour thanks to the presence of a special route with braille panels and numerous tactile points. The routes can be modified for children with disabilities.

The staff is available to set up or follow ad hoc educational paths according to the needs of teachers or schools. Workshops and activities are updated annually to keep up with the times and school needs.

The Civic Museum’s activities also cater to individual families, to whom workshops are offered in the afternoon or evening hours, and to adults, with guided tours in several languages (Italian, English, French and German) of the museum spaces, archaeological areas, monumental complex and its basement. Visitors to the museum can take advantage of audio guides and in-depth information via the QR Code system.

Lab activities, by reservation only, can be held Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The duration of each module is 1 hour-1 1/2 hours

Cost:

6 € per pupil;

8 € per pupil with the combination of the educational activity with a guided tour of the fortress, or the archaeological areas or basement. Free admission for teachers and chaperones. The materials used in the workshops are entirely provided by the Museum, and for some modules the final paper remains with the students.

The workshops are structured in two parts: a brief introduction will explain the activity they are going to do in the teaching area; the second part will be hands-on. Some workshops are repeated in the various school orders, but the content and terminology are calibrated to the needs of the class.

Tours are adaptable for any age and class. Tours can be modified for children with disabilities. Staff are available to set up or follow ad hoc educational tours according to the needs of teachers or schools.
