OBJECTIVES
- Make young people aware of the presence of the Textile
Museum within the City of Chieri, one of the few museums of its kind in Italy, and indeed,
in the world.
- Stimulate research into the collective memory of local
history and customs, and encourage research into different artistic forms.
INTENDED USERS
Guided Tour
These are organized by guides from
the 'Carreum Potentia' Association and last about an hour. Reservations for 25 persons or
less may be booked by phoning the Textile Foundation. Unfortunately, the Museum is
currently situated in temporary quarters which do not, as yet, give visitors sufficient
freedom to explore autonomously. Visitors may, however, stop in the various sectors, where
different artefacts with their method of use are on exhibit as well as practical
demonstrations on working looms. The visit ends with a showing of a film; "The Thread
of History."
materials: free documentary and teaching aids to be
used in class for further research, exercises, and games using textiles (such as board
games). |
