National Gallery of Umbria tells Thaddeus on social media and keeps him company with many initiatives


The National Gallery of Umbria is telling the story of the exhibition on Taddeo di Bartolo through social media and keeping company with many initiatives for young and old.

Is it possible to visit an exhibition through social media? That’s what the National Gallery of Umbria in Perugia is doing with the first-ever monographic exhibition dedicated to the Sienese artist Taddeo di Bartolo (Siena, c. 1362 - 1422).
The exhibition, curated by the artist’s leading scholar, Gail E. Solberg, will be narrated through the Gallery’s Facebook, Instagram and Twitter profiles and Youtube channel, following the hashtag #congliocchchidiTaddeo.

But this is not the only social initiative proposed by the National Gallery of Umbria: the famous museum in Perugia has organized, for this period of Covid-19 emergency, an entire weekly program punctuated by various proposals and related hashtags. A way to spread art and culture and to keep everyone, young and old, company. A Spotify profile will even be launched to reach even the youngest.

Here’s the schedule of #theGalleriatifacompany: Monday mornings start immediately with #gliocchchidiTaddeo, while in the afternoons the Gallery recommends a #bookfortheweek; on Tuesdays it will air directly from the warehouses #islaltraGalleria, and for the very children #FavolArte, with the possibility of downloading a free ebook to read, reflect and learn; Wednesday will again be dedicated to #congliocchchidiTaddeo and discovering secrets, details and pearls of the collection with #allopera. Thursday will be the turn of #memories from the digital archive and #stories; Friday will be back to the #congliocchidiTaddeo exhibition and then the Gallery will offer playlists and music directly from Spotify.
On Saturday #trucchiparrucchi from behind the scenes and virtual visit to the Taddeo di Bartolo exhibition with #timostrolamostra. Finally on Sunday #wakeningAdArte and #creoadArte with virtual workshops for children dedicated to Taddeo.

All that remains is to follow all the initiatives to learn and have fun.
