The Educational Department was established in 2011, at the same time as the exhibition Cinecittà Shows Off, to acquaint all visitors with the various disciplines of cinema and with the history and present-day reality of Cinecittà, highlighting the historical, cinematographic, architectural and museum heritage of Cinecittà.
The educational offer provides the opportunity to learn about Cinecittà’s material and tangible heritage with guided tours and dedicated workshops at Cinecittà Shows Off, MIAC – Museum of Moving Images, Studio EL, the sets and the temporary exhibitions to experience the Studios as an active, dynamic space, a meeting place for cinema, culture, education, and entertainment. The work of the Educational Department is defined by an interactive approach, direct experimentation, interdisciplinary experience and in-depth exploration of the techniques and themes of the audio-visual industry, with museum educators specialised in teaching and communication of cinema and contemporary art.
The Educational Department of Cinecittà Shows Off and MIAC – Museum of Moving Images is directed by department head Barbara Goretti, with “Senza titolo” – Progetti aperti alla Cultura www.senzatitolo.net
