A series of architectural measures (new staircase, dismantling of an attic, opening up of various spaces) are planned to achieve a suitable framework for the new permanent collection of the ethnological Museum. This refurbishment will greatly improve the museum itineraries and structure the exhibition content and meaning in a clear and attractive way. The spatial rearrangement will allow for a fluid sequence of exhibition spaces and it will create some singular rooms (one on every floor) to contemplate the key elements of the collection.
