MUSE

MUSE (acronym of MUseo delle ScienzE – Science Museum) is a latest concept centre for scientific culture diffusion. It will combine the traditional interest in natural history and research, common to all natural science institutions, with specific attention to ethical and social topics and to current issues, such as the environment and sustainable development.

MUSE will be located in an area of Trento that used to host an industrial site, and is now undergoing requalification. Along with the new museum structure the area will host business and residential quarters, set in the heart of a large city park. At MUSE visitors, with their feelings and interests, will be the play the leading role.

The opening is planned for 2012.
