Art confronting Covid-19

MOMus, still socially active and in the present condition, recommended selected works from its collections and its exhibitions in its online program "MOMus Resilience Project". Willing to be closer to the people who work, create, express themselves through their homes, MOMus began recommending aspects of "home", that is home life, as artists have perceived it to be in tempore non suspect (#MOMus Domus).

Today MOMus is expanding its resilience and calls you to share with us an image created by you that has artistic qualities, in response to the conditions of confinement that we experience. Give your own tone and let's make the digital album of these days all together (#SoFarSoClose).

[MOMus intends to use for its actions (which might include exhibitions, research, the purchase of works of art) certain works that will be posted on the platform and in which can be found trends that are in line with the institutions' artistic interests in terms of aesthetics, techniques, and content. In this case, the respective creators will be contacted.]
