Yesterday was inaugurated the new POP-APP MUSEUM: a suggestive space dedicated to animated and interactive books that expands and renews the MUSLI (School and Book Museum for Children).
The Restoration Conservation Centre ‘La Venaria Reale’ has carried out important interventions on some of the artefacts on display, forming part of a wider research project dedicated to the conservation of modern animated books, produced between the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 20th century.
The Centre also took part in the inaugural day, which was attended by Michela Cardinali, director of the Restoration Laboratories and the School of Higher Education, Ambra D’Aleo, coordinator of the Paper and Photography Laboratory and the restorer Arianna Re.
The POP-APP MUSEUM thus integrates, in a single itinerary, the rooms of the MUSLI dedicated to animated books. Thanks to the wealth of materials, skills and experience developed over the years also within the Pop-App International Centre on Interactive Books, the museum makes its collection of rare and precious volumes available to the public.
The new museum opens with the exhibition “Always happy, children! Lothar Meggendorfer and the animated book in Italy between the 19th and 20th centuries’: A tribute to the German artist, one of the leading creators of animated books of all time, who died 100 years ago this year.
