Goal and Target
For the school year 2018-19, our museum has inaugurated a new exhibit entitled "Eternal Mothers - Madri Eterne", an intercultural journey through representations of motherhood. It's a journey around the world to discover the varied interpretations of the magical moment of motherhood.
Mother Earth and her anthropomorphic representation descended into the cultural fabric of each people, and it differs according to the ethnic group that investigates its meaning, aiming to give it a physical representation permeated by the sacredness and eternal mystery of the cyclic repetition of reproduction.
Educational exhibition for schools of all levels

Motherhood: Knowledge and Living
The exhibit "Eternal Mothers" develops the common meaning of motherhood, reflecting on the different representations of knowledge, and the experience of motherhood itself.
Interesting is to note that a primordial experience, such as the birth and care of children, has artistic or handicraft returns which are so different according to the peoples and ethnicities of origin.
The aim of this exhibition is a profound reflection in a multicultural world; it is a tangible transport of a common destiny of the human being in its earthly celebration.

Indonesia
Practically unknown to the outside world until the 1950s, the Asmat have a tradition of wood carving as one of the best known and most vibrant in the Pacific area.
Life and Death
In order to understand the Asmat art, we must refer to their beliefs regarding the relationship between life and killing. Because death could only be attributed to war or magic, they believed that every death should be avenged. All the carved ritual objects were made to remind the living of their duty to take revenge, and these carvings became the abode of the dead.
Wood Sculptures
The artifacts of the Asmat people are sought after by museums and collectors all over the world. Their art is modern, abstract and geometric.
Woman in Labor and Midwife
Giving birth on your feet is quite normal in this culture, as it once was in Italy when giving birth in our homes. At the moment of the traditional birth, the woman in labor is helped by a young woman.
