MUVIM - Museum in Valencia, Spain |
|
By Enlightenment here they mean the European Age of Enlightenment of XVIII century. The permanent exhibition of MUVIM takes us throgh all the stages, how we came from the medieval rule of religious doctrine, via renaissance and that Enlightenment to today's modernity. It is a museum for thinkers about thinking. Not a convential museum, this is literally a journey. You will be accompanied through endless sections of the tour by actors. You will visit a monastery and hear monks philosophise, you will get inside a universal machine, inside a printing press, look into Gallileo's huge telescope, walk on the streets of revolutionary Paris, be dazzled by the carnage of XX century and even have a 5 min rest in a real XVIII century salon. It is all a huge artistic and technological collage, rather than a collection. The unbelievable installation must be worth millions and yet it is free! More like being inside Willy Wonka's Thought Factory. The only drawback - you have to book in advance (see museum services) |
