“Su mortu mortu”, in Sassari a treasure hunt between witches and ghosts
Appointment in the Museum and in the Pinacoteca
The rogue ghost will wander among the paintings of the National Art Gallery of Sassari , in Piazza Santa Caterina. The treasure hunt can also be done among the finds of the "Sanna" Ethnographic Museum . The regional museum management has chosen a nice way to combine the visit to places of art and history with the Feast of All Saints and the commemoration of the dead. Children will be the protagonists of the traditional festival of Su mortu mortu, the Sardinian Halloween.
The first day is Saturday. In collaboration with "Associazione Il Corso" and "Wandering Tales", the National Picture Gallery of Sassari organizes " Enchantments and mysteries. Scary treasure hunt among works of art ." Two workshops aimed at different age groups: "The ghost malandrino " is dedicated to children aged 3 to 5 (there are two proposals, at 10.30 and 17.30);" Witch hunt " is reserved for children aged 6 to 10 (at 11.00 and 17.00). Reservation required.
Wednesday 2 November, from 10.30 to 12.30, the National Museum "Giovanni Antonio Sanna" in Sassari will turn into a scary museum with a day dedicated to children aged 7 to 11 (accompanied by an adult) to discover the scariest finds. The program includes a treasure hunt visit that aims to bring young visitors closer to one of the most important themes of archeology and ethnographic tradition: the funerary sphere.
Ancient rites and customs, buildings and sculptures tell the relationship of man with the afterlife. Reservation required for this event as well.
