THE PROJECT EXHIBITION: A GREAT HISTORY THAT COMES FROM A
MIX OF EXPRESSIVE LANGUAGES
The exhibition consists of an emotional, dramatic and profound narrative
that is continuous, with an interdisciplinary approach to human evolution
and the history of human diversity. It follows a chronological order of
events and situations, with each section based on a mix of different forms
of expression: the valuable original objects (a fossil, a tool, an artifact, an
ethnographic object) in plaster casts and copies; reconstructions of scenes
and stories, spectacular models of hominids and huge extinct animals,
interactive displays, immersive video and photo installations; geographical
maps, topographic maps, and maps. Environmental lighting and sounds
then complete the installation, enriching it with artistic suggestions.
The captions and explanatory panels will be concise and simple in English
and Italian, with an abundance of graphics that help highlight a reading at
different attention levels. These will often be accompanied by explanatory
texts (quotes, evocative phrases) on the wall spaces, creating a charming
and engaging narrative dimension.
Like the exhibition for the bicentenary of the birth of Charles Darwin,
(www.darwin2009.it) that was highly successful with a total of more than
220,000 visitors, the “Homo Sapiens” exhibition is also aimed at a general
audience, with particular interest given to the younger generation for
which teaching tools and languages have been developed ad hoc.
THE FIRST EXHIBITION ON THE HISTORY OF MANKIND: AN ITALIAN
PRODUCT EXPORTABLE AROUND THE WORLD
Thanks to its display features of interactivity, the high levels of dissemination
of its original texts, its close connections with very recent scientific
results in different fields, and the absence of any significant precedent
on this issue, the exhibition is intended as an international project that is
exportable for presentations and museums in various countries around the
world, and specific regional sections can easily be integrated. The general
catalogue in English and the website will be useful tools for future developments
of the project.
