Live Instagram guided tours for an interactive tour at the MuSMe of Padua

The MuSMe, Museum of the History of Medicine in Padua, offers from Monday, March 9, a live Instagram guided tour with an interactive experience: the museum, which combines history and technology and tells the path of Medicine from ancient discipline to modern science, is the first Italian museum to experiment with this initiative.

It is a proposal aimed especially at school groups and organized groups that, following the Coronavirus emergency, have had to forego museum visits, educational trips and opportunities for cultural exploration and meetings. Just log on to the museum’s Instagram profile to be accompanied by expert guides on a two-hour tour through the museum’s three floors and eight thematic spaces-a way to continue learning and discovery and to stimulate education.

The guided tour is not intended to be a simple live streaming, but a truly interactive and dynamic tour: one will be able to answer questions, quizzes and games with emoticons, likes and features; it will be possible to interface some of the methodologies with the Instagram platform to show every detail of the various digital stations and to be guided by the hologram of Galileo Galilei or to admire the 8-meter-long human body model of the Vesalian Man, the symbol of the museum, on which lectures, anatomical dissections and other experiments are regularly projected.

During the live Instagram feed, visitors will be able to virtually browse through precious ancient books, see themselves reflected on a magical mirror that will reveal organs, bones and muscles, auscultate the heart and lungs and see under a microscope the main pathogens of today’s best-known diseases, as well as participate in interactive games.

The museum will also offer images and videos to explore further aspects of medicine related to the history of epidemics. Through this focus, the progress and evolution of medicine will be reconstructed, tracing the major epidemics and providing important information at a time of concern about the spread of the new Coronavirus. Video pills on this topic will be posted on MuSMe’s social channels to give everyone food for thought and knowledge with expert opinion.

All live participants will be given a free ticket with annual validity to enter the Museum to see it live.

* The total cost of the guided tour is 80 euros, plus a reduced ticket of 6 euros.
