MOMus, still socially active and in the present condition, recommends selected works exclusively from its collections and exhibitions in its online program "MOMus Resilience Project". At the same time, MOMus wants to be closer to the people who work, create, express themselves through their homes, and recommends aspects of "home", that is home life, as artists have perceived it to be in tempore non suspecto.

It wasn’t only the art critic Beatrice Spiliadis who saw the image of "damaged cathedrals" on the sculptures of Achille Aperghis. The sharp forms, the abstract morphology and the strict verticality that characterize many of them, gave rise to similar associations even by the artist himself, while rethinking years later on his artistic work. "It was not possible for the artists to go through the war without any influence in our mental mood and in our aesthetic perception at all," he concludes, commenting on the distinctive artistic universe of the "metallic wear" he created. A world that was methodically built with metallic rods as the raw material which the sculptor processed, welded and composed in such a way as to convey the eerie sense of a corroded and precarious structure.
