European Heritage Days at the MTO Sufi Museum of Art and Culture: A Family Programme
On Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., the MTO Sufi Museum of Art and Culture invites families to discover—or rediscover—its garden through a programme dedicated to the connections between nature, artistic creation, and traditional craftsmanship.
Through sensory activities, close observation of the garden using magnifying glasses, and collaborative games, visitors will be encouraged to engage their senses and develop an attentive perspective on the forms, textures, and scents of plants. They will have the opportunity to touch, smell, and compare different natural elements, while exploring how these can be transformed into patterns, pigments, materials, and works of art. These activities will highlight the ways in which nature has long served as a source of inspiration for artists and craftspeople.
This programme offers an opportunity to explore the museum’s botanical heritage and to consider the relationship between nature and artistic creation from a different perspective. Through observation and experimentation, visitors will be invited to establish a sensory and meaningful connection between the natural environment and the works of art.
Please note: Due to the dismantling of the current exhibition, the museum’s exhibition galleries will be closed to the public during the European Heritage Days.
