On the occasion of the 22nd Culture WeekEnterprise, AEM Foundation inaugurated a new exhibition space of its enterprise museum, which has as its founding principle the’use of the historical heritage to understand the present and project visitors into the future through the Sustainable Development Goals of the UN 2030 Agenda, for years a reference point for cultural-educational activities and initiatives of scientific research and specialised training.

A natural continuation of the existing one, the new museum area is the result of careful work by energy recovery, valorisation and efficiency of the previous teaching area.

Extended over approx. 200 square metres, this new museum space consists of 4 exhibits interattivi: 2 LED walls, a totem, an educational hub and an unusual digital periscope involving the public in a way dynamics between the history of AEM and the Foundation's numerous cultural and scientific initiatives.

In particular, in the new shere are two interactive ledwalls dedicated to the themes of sustainable development and the energy poverty, designed as a means of dissemination.but also as a tool to “navigate” between the company's past and the Foundation's present with respect to some key objectives of our daysi.

A special section of the museum is dedicated to the young generations thanks to the European project Let's Act!, conceived as a plateforma-game to educate young people about sustainable development in an active way.

The boys will, in fact, be “engaged” through some characters created with the s3D tampa who will guide them through the viewing of films on the theme of sustainability. Through a periscope, then, it is possible “flying” 100 metres above the Foundation's headquarters and see i historical places of AEM, such as the Gas Workshop at the Bovisa, colonies of Igea Marina, the dams of the’Alta Valtellina. Finally, in a large sail towering above the new museum area, it will be possible to enjoy films and images of the’AEM historical photo archive and, during exhibitions, images dedicatedto in-depth thematicthere.
