The Antiquarium Arborense has been closed for two years: the minority in Oristano is demanding an account of the delays.
At the heart of the project is the €200,000 grant obtained by the Municipality through a national call for proposals for art cities affected by the decline in tourist flows following the pandemic.Per restare aggiornato entra nel nostro canale Whatsapp
Two years of hiatus, no reopening date, and no updates on the work. The center-left minority has brought the issue of the Antiquarium Arborense museum to the Council with a question addressed to the mayor and the council. At the heart of the matter is the €200,000 funding obtained by the Municipality through a national call for proposals for art cities affected by the decline in tourism following the pandemic. These funds, it states, are earmarked for "the implementation of interventions aimed at removing physical, cognitive, and sensory barriers," in addition to another €500,000 from National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) funds.
The councilors, led by Massimiliano Daga, recall that the museum is "a fundamental symbol of community identity and a strategic asset for the city's cultural and tourism development," and emphasize that it has currently been "closed to the public for some time, depriving citizens, schools, and visitors of an essential cultural service." The document, which emphasizes the institution's role as a guarantor of "transparency, effectiveness, and timeliness in the use of public resources," requests clarification of "the reasons for the ongoing closure," the project's implementation status and timeline, what interventions have been planned, awarded, or completed, whether resources have been committed or spent, whether there have been "delays, rescheduling, or critical issues," and what the "certain timelines" are for the museum's reopening.
