The project, the result of a collaboration launched in 2022 between the MAO Museo d’Arte Orientale and StudiUm, the Department of Humanities of the University of Turin, represents an innovative experience in the Turin and Italian landscape: a civic museum opens its spaces to university students, offering meetings and in-depth studies dedicated to the art and material cultures of Asia.
Following the successful outcome of the first experiments, Thursday 12 November 2026 sees the launch of the new edition of the Extracurricular Training Course Tra cultura materiale e patrimonio intangibile dell’Asia 2026-27, organized in collaboration with StudiUm, the Department of Humanities of the University of Turin, with a view to exchanging knowledge and skills between the two institutions.
