October 25, 2026 / 9.00 am - 10.00 pm
On Sunday 25 October 2026, at the MUSE – Science Museum of Trento, ECOs will be held. Sound landscapes in the Ecomuseums, a day dedicated to the discovery and enhancement of the sounds that characterise the territories.
The initiative concludes a two-year participatory research project promoted by the Trentino Eco-museum Network, in collaboration with several partners, including MUSE, and co-financed by the Fondazione Caritro. Through meetings, experiential workshops, dissemination activities and music, the public will be able to deepen the role of soundscapes in collective memory, cultural identity and the protection of environmental heritage. The day will end with dialogues and a concert dedicated to the sounds, voices and memories of the nine eco-museums in Trentino.
