After six years of work, the National Archaeological and Ethnographic Museum "Giovanni Antonio Sanna" in Sassari inaugurates the new exhibition. The ribbon cutting is scheduled for tonight (at 6 pm, then opening to the public until 11 pm) in the presence of the director of the Sardinian Museums Regional Directorate, Luana Toniolo, the director of the Museum, Elisabetta Grassi, with the regional secretary Patricia Olivo and the general director of the Museums Massimo Osanna.

The new exhibition, the result of an overall redevelopment project and of the main hall of the Castoldi Pavilion, launched in 2016, aimed to restore visibility to the collections and origins of the museum, returning to the city the most important finds of the Sanna Museum.

The project idea will see the launch of numerous initiatives with the involvement of schools , non-profit associations and universities , for a co-programming and co-planning of the future activities of the Museum, which will become an increasingly participatory and inclusive space. A new, modern and functional look that upgrades the spaces and routes for visits with the exhibition of finds , from the prehistoric collection to the Roman one, from the ethnographic one to the Phoenician-Punic one.

The temporary exhibition has finally allowed the museum to be reopened , but it is only the first step: the design of the definitive and modern exhibition is underway, by the architectural firm Tortelli e Frassoni, which will redevelop the spaces and itineraries for visits.
