THE MUSEO DEL GIOIELLO LIGHTS UP FOR VICENZA'S WHITE NIGHT EVENT




The Museo del Gioiello jewellery museum is opening its doors for Vicenza's White Night event, scheduled for Saturday 24th June.

To mark the event, the museum located in the Basilica Palladiana and managed by Italian Exhibition Group SpA (IEG), in partnership with Vicenza Council, will be open from 11 am to 11 pm, instead of 7 pm, with free entry for visitors (instead of €6 full price and €4 reduced price).

The Museo del Gioiello will therefore be brightly lit  for the city of Vicenza's first White Night, a manifestation organized by the Council, the Hyper Cultural Association and OFF Events, which will see the historical town centre alive with music, entertainment and events in all the squares.  Outside the usual opening times and under an unprecedented and highly suggestive light, visitors will be able to partake in the original aesthetic and cognitive experience  offered by the Museum, the first in Italy and one of only a few in the world dedicated exclusively to jewellery.
On the upper floor, the public will be able to enjoy the second edition of the biennial exhibition where 400 jewellery items of rare beauty are displayed in 9 themed rooms, each under the curatorship of an international expert, which reflect the principle meanings behind jewellery: Symbol, Magic, Function, Beauty, Art, Fashion, Design, Icon and Future. Guided tours are programmed with the Museum Director, Alba Cappellieri, and some of the room curators. The ground floor, however, is currently hosting the "Dames and Knights" temporary exhibition (on show until 17th September 2017), which, with 40 items featured, celebrates and recalls the historical tradition of honorary jewellery.
The Museo del Gioiello in Vicenza is an international platform for promoting the cultural universe of gold art and jewellery, sectors in which Italian Exhibition Group is one of the world's main players with its VICENZAORO Show.

“Change” Wahala

At Mile 2 bridge, Lagos, a large crowd were waiting for a bus to go home after their day’s job. It had rained cat and dog that day so there was a vehicular traffic, which held the commuter buses behind. So as soon as a bus eventually arrived, the passengers rushed to board the bus.  “Osodi Oke straight N200.00 bus. Hold your change o. If you no get change no enter o. Conductor no get sense o”. This was the conductor of the bus shouting, warning the passengers ahead that he had no change. This reporter was among the lucky ones that struggled and got a space in the bus. Before the bus could get to second rainbow bus-stop along Osodi-Apapa expressway, the conductor started collecting the transport fare from his passengers.
