Last weekend, Rome was the stage for the official press conference and the inaugural partner meeting of the EUROMUSE project, an innovative initiative dedicated to transforming the museum visit experience through the creation and application of original music for museums.
Building on the success of a pilot project conducted in 2021 at the Museum of Science and Technology in Belgrade, EUROMUSE aims to explore the profound impact of music on museum visitors. The pilot involved the composition of three original pieces of applied music for permanent exhibits, alongside pioneering research that demonstrated numerous benefits for museum audiences, including enhanced engagement and deeper emotional connections with exhibits.
The next phase of this artistic-scientific initiative will take place in three museums located in Rome, Macau, and Athens. By expanding its reach, EUROMUSE seeks to generate new insights into the evolving needs and trends of contemporary museology, while fostering creativity and innovation in the presentation of museum collections.
A unique aspect of EUROMUSE is its collaborative approach, bringing together young composers, museum professionals, researchers, and actively engaged museum visitors. This diverse team will work together to develop and implement original musical compositions tailored to specific museum environments, enriching the visitor experience and contributing to the field of applied music for museums.
EUROMUSE is an international collaboration featuring partners from Greece, Italy, Portugal, and Serbia, with the support of trainers and lecturers from France, the UK, and other countries. The project is proudly supported by the Creative Europe program of the European Union.
Stay tuned for more updates as EUROMUSE continues to break new ground at the intersection of art, science, and cultural heritage.
