Three days dedicated to one of the most awaited dates in the accessibility sector.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The training course “Accessibility to Cultural Heritage 2026”<\/strong>, organized by the State Tactile Omero Museum<\/strong>, kicked off on April 16, 2026, at the Sala Boxe of the Mole Vanvitelliana in Ancona. An evergreen appointment: despite reaching its twenty-second edition, the event sold out in just a few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Running until April 18<\/strong>, this year’s course features personnel from a wide range of institutions seeking training in accessibility, including: the Ducal Palace of Mantua<\/strong>, the National Museum of Bargello<\/strong>, the Appia Antica Archaeological Park<\/strong>, Fondazione Prada<\/strong>, the Peggy Guggenheim Collection<\/strong> (Venice), and the Sansevero Chapel Museum<\/strong> (Naples), the Municipalities of Milan<\/strong>, Ancona<\/strong>, and Rome<\/strong>, and the State Archives of Ancona<\/strong> and the Universities of Venice, Macerata, Camerino, and Padua<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, several people with disabilities<\/strong> are participating. As is often the case at the Omero Museum, they are not just recipients of the training but protagonists in a direct dialogue aimed at building a vision of accessibility that is concrete, shared, and rooted in real experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The proceedings were opened by Aldo Grassini<\/strong>, President of the Omero Museum, who emphasized that accessibility is not a niche or specialist field, but a transversal perspective<\/strong> that concerns the entire cultural system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Institutional greetings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

he opening session saw contributions from Andrea Pessina<\/strong> (Superintendent of Archaeology, Fine Arts, and Landscape for Ancona and Pesaro Urbino) and Stefania Terr\u00e8<\/strong> (Councilor for UICI Marche and President of UICI Ancona). Marta Paraventi<\/strong>, Councilor for Culture of the Municipality of Ancona, also sent her regards.
