What is it about silence and museums? Have you ever noticed that most rooms in a given museum are very quiet except for the Café or Cafeteria?
Over a (quite often overpriced) cup of coffee and a club sandwich museum visitors tend to talk more freely and loudly about the objects from the collections that moved or intrigued them. Cafés are certainly the most common meeting point, both for people and ideas.
The Café of I.Mu.se.o, much like other "real" museum cafés all over the world, allow visitors to de-sacralize the objects of the collection as it fosters the possibility of reflection, discussion, and critique. This café enhances the I of I.Mu.se.o, that is, interaction among visitors/curators. So go ahead, and leave a reply! Let us know how to improve the site, and suggests objects, texts and films to be included in the other rooms
