Pinball's Italian Museum in Bologna

On the same line of interactive museums I want to talk about the Italian “Pinball's Museum” in the city of Bologna.

A magical place that preserves a museum's feature but at the same time is very interactive . Here you can hear the indistinguishable flipper's sound that has been the main protagonist of all penny arcades and of a lot of public places and has been a good entertainment of a lot of generations .

Born from the wish of an Italian profitless TILT ASSOCIATION , founded by Federico Croci in 1994 and recognized by UNESCO in 2008 , this museum boasts a collection of play games collected in two decades of activity .

You should find 400 mechanical and electronical pinballs , 55 game cabs among which “ Computer Space ” the first coin videogame of history , 24 juke-boxes and a library with technical manuals , books , pubblications and correlated magazines . That's the result of Federico Corci's personal collection and people's borrowings and donations .

Almost nobody knows that Bologna has been , with Chicago , the worldwide pinball's capital .

So you can find there all games that has delighted dozens of generations , appearing in movies , stories , songs and theatrical comedies .

Tilt Association is constantly searching for new items so you can also consult the wanted section of its official website .

3D Magic Art Exhibition in Hangzhou

I want to dedicate my first post on a very particular Art Exhibition that took place in China last summer .

Fifteen South Korean artists gave their contribution to the Magic Art Exhibition at the Hangzhou Peace International Exhibition and Conference Centre in the Eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang from the 1^st July to the 6^th August 2012.

Have you ever imagined a museum in which you are encouraged to touch every single painting ?

No? So that was the right art exhibition for you !

Wearing an angel's wings , riding an unicorn , burning out a dragon's flames … everything you never imagined in a museum !

Probably you have never been a painting's main character but now it's possible thanks to a special tecnique called “ Anamorphosis ”. This tecnique consists in a deformation which allows the painting to acquire the 3^rd dimension if it's seen from a specific position as you can see in the next pictures

Welcome to my blog !

This is my first post so first of all ... HELLO TO EVERYBODY ! This is also my first blog so I'm very doubtful of what and how can I write to break the ice with this first post...so I try to explain briefly how this idea born: when I was a little girl I've visited a lot of museums with my family and especially on school trips and I've always  thought that all museums are similar and boring..didn't you think so?When I grew up I've learned to appreciate them and to visit them with a lot of interest , because art is one of my passions and probably that's the same for you , right ? But  there are also a lot of strange and unconventional museums ( if you imagine a museum just  as a collection of old furnishings and fittings , statues and paintings ... )  upon which I want to focalize with you... This blog may guide us to explore this ones all together so have a nice trip !
