As part of the PLACES project, numerous measures are being implemented at the pilot site, the Naturalistic Archaeological Museum of the city of Vicenza, to promote accessibility and inclusion:
- Development of a narrative and sensory museum tour for children and familie
- Design of a barrier-free walking route with sound dramaturgy, in collaboration with the local population
- Structural and digital improvements: ramps, lift, new lighting, WLAN infrastructure
- New museum installations with physical and sensory content
- Production of interactive, digital and inclusive content
- Creation of an online platform to promote sustainable mobility, including a virtual tour of the museum
- Expansion of the Vicenza Museums website with a section dedicated to accessibility, including an “Easy Guide” in large print
The project was officially launched during the kick-off meeting held on 25-26 February 2025 at the museum. The programme included a guided tour and an excursion to Lake Fimon.
On 13 May 2025, an inspection was carried out with La Piccionaia and the museum team to choose a location for the planned Silent Play: Lake Fimon was chosen.
