In today’s international debate, museums are living spaces of interpretation and relationship — places where one can engage with the unexpected and experiment. They are also spaces of democracy, capable of fostering participation and giving people new tools, greater freedom to choose, and to understand.

The new We Exhibit Trainig Series 2026, curated by Italian and international experts, embraces this vision, following the success of the very first course. The new program offers multidisciplinary opportunities to deepen knowledge of topics and methods, always placing at the center the quality of the visitor experience, the plurality of perspectives, and inclusivity.

The courses are aimed at museum professionals, architects, designers, and anyone interested in exploring these themes. Starting this year, they also qualify for professional training credits for architects.

Disruptive Interpretation: Practices and Strategies for Mediating Content | January 16–18, 2026

Curated by Maria Chiara Ciaccheri

Disruptive Interpretation: Practices and Strategies for Mediating Content is a theoretical-practical workshop dedicated to museum interpretation. The course offers tools and methods for rethinking mediation, also through internationally recognized perspectives.

PROGRAM

From Visitor Studies to Experience Design: From Research to Design | February 13–15, 2026

Curated by Maria Chiara Ciaccheri

Visitor Experience Design is an intensive course dedicated to the conscious design of the visitor experience—from the first contact with the institution to the memory and post-visit storytelling. Speaking about experience means understanding the complex interactions between spaces and content, expectations and human relationships.
In this workshop, we will explore how to design the visitor experience by drawing inspiration from user experience design, communication, participatory design, and inclusive accessibility. The course alternates theoretical sessions and hands-on activities, providing concrete tools to analyze and enhance the visitor experience before, during, and after the visit.

Program coming soon.

Exhibition Lighting Design: Atmosphere, Orientation, Mediation | Spring 2026

Curated by Giovanni Dantomio

Exhibition Lighting Design: Atmosphere, Orientation, Mediation explores light as an essential tool for experiencing space and content, while also contributing to visitor well-being. The course examines lighting design from key types of settings to technical solutions, with a special focus on temporary exhibitions and their differences from permanent displays.

Queerness and Cultural Spaces | Autumn 2026

Curated by Nicole Moolhuijsen

Queerness and Cultural Spaces introduces participants to key issues in the debate on gender, sexuality, and relationships from a queer perspective, with particular attention to LGBTQIA+ rights and the role of culture as an agent of social change.
The course addresses themes of representation and the involvement of artists and communities, focusing on deconstructing normative models of narration and power. Through the analysis of case studies, exhibitions, and workshops, participants will explore how museums have embraced—or excluded—queer perspectives in shaping collective memory.

The goal is to encourage reflection on language, cultural policies, and curatorial, interpretive, and pedagogical practices, providing theoretical and practical tools to rethink cultural spaces as plural and political sites of resistance. The course alternates lectures, discussions, workshops, and presentations with international contributions, in Italian and English, online.

Sound Design: Listening, Narrative, Space | Autumn 2026

Curated by Maria Chiara Ciaccheri

Sound Design: Listening, Narrative, Space introduces sound design as a narrative and design tool within exhibition spaces, enhancing its communicative, immersive, and relational potential.
Through a theoretical-practical approach, participants will explore the fundamentals of sound design, focusing on the creation of soundscapes, site-specific audio narratives, and sensory environments that interact with space, content, and audiences.
The course examines various techniques and languages of sound design within museum, installation, and performance contexts. It also addresses topics such as sound spatialization, the relationship between audio and image, the creation of immersive environments, and the use of sound as a tool for mediation and accessibility.
