in Emilia-Romagna Region 2010-2012 - Istituto per i Beni Artistici ...

Foreword
Ezio Raimondi
It is with sincere pleasure that we present this
vademecum to the museums of Emilia-Romagna
that have been acknowledged as “quality museums”,
and have thus joined a novel association of sorts,
a virtuous community that pools institutions
that are quite different from each other, but with
shared characteristics in terms of services offered
to the public, excellent internal management and
organizations, and activities to promote their
collections. For a museum, quality translates into
substance in terms of its ability to attentively adapt to
its users’ needs, as an open, interactive, and constantly
evolving institution.
Of course, what we are documenting today is merely
the first step in a shared journey, which will involve,
over time, many more museums active in our region.
A logo is ready for the first museums, and for all
those that will follow in their footsteps. It was selected
through a painstaking competition which saw the
enthusiastic participation of many young designers
and graphic artists.
