Trieste municipality closes all museums due to no green pass demonstrations

In Trieste, the City Council decided to close all cultural venues (museums, libraries, exhibition halls) for a full four days, from Friday, October 22, until Monday, October 25, due to fears related to the no green pass demonstrations. The announcement had been made on Thursday: then, as is known, the demonstrations were canceled and the protest continued with a garrison in Piazza Unità d’Italia. Nevertheless, museums and libraries remained closed anyway.

Doors closed, therefore, at the Revoltella Museum, the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Oriental Art, the Schmidl Museum, the Sartorio Museum and several other important centers of city culture. The City Council’s idea was not followed by other institutions: the Miramare Castle, a state museum, remained regularly open, and so did the private Jewish Community Museum of Trieste. There were many inconveniences for groups and individuals who had planned their trip from all over Italy and thus found themselves forced to spend a weekend in Trieste without culture: many opted for the Miramare Castle, which recorded more than 1,000 visits on Saturday. And now the question is whether it was really necessary to close all cultural venues.
