For XVIII edition of Giornata del Contemporaneo, the Direzione Regionale Musei Lazio adheres to the “Antico-Contemporaneo” project which will take place in the Museo Archeologico Nazionale “G. Carettoni” and the Antiquarium of Minturnae. These two places of culture currently host the temporary exhibition “Spiriti di Olimpia”. The exhibition, which presents over 60 photos of a research project by the Paritani studio, investigates the relationship between athletic gesture and context, in a perfect relationship with the works kept in the aforementioned museums (Athlete / Hero of Cassino, limb of the gladiator statue from Minturnae ) and to the monuments of the archaeological areas (Anfiteatro di Casinum, Teatro Romano di Minturnae).
To promote the dialogue between Ancient and Contemporary, on Saturday 8 October 2022, the Museo Archeologico Nazionale “Gianfilippo Carettoni” and the Area Archeologica di Casinum will be open with free admission from 8.30 to 19.30 and in the evening, the Museum will be open extraordinarily from 8.00 pm to 11.00 pm, always with free admission for all visitors.
