THE 7 WONDERS OF THE MODERN WORLD: WHAT THEY ARE AND WHERE THEY ARE LOCATED

What are the 7 wonders of the modern world we can admire today?
After writing the post about the 7 wonders of the ancient world: what they are and where they are  I began wondering if, even after those ancient and amazing constructions, men have been able to build buildings as majestic as they were.

I found out that someone, before me, asked himself the same question because in 2000 an online survey was conducted in order to establish what the 7 wonders of the modern age are.

DA VINCI EXPERIENCE: MY FIRST VISIT TO A MULTIMEDIA EXHIBITION. A JOURNEY BETWEEN ART AND TECHNOLOGY

I visited the Da Vinci Experience exhibition, and as soon as I exited I asked myself: what would Leonardo Da Vinci have created today if he had had current technology at his disposal?
He would probably have built spectacular buildings or he would have become an astronaut.

In the year dedicated to the celebrations of the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo da Vinci (to which I dedicated the post Leonardo da Vinci 500th anniversary: exhibitions, events and new books), I decided to immerse myself in the multimedia itinerary devoted to the artist.

MUSEUMS GADGETS AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THINKING OF MUSEUM COMMUNICATION IN A NEW WAY

Museums gadgets and communication. Which is relationship among these three words?
Before answering this question, I want to tell you what happened to me when I was asked: how should a museum communicate today?
One day I was asked this question, and I answered by talking about social media and how a museum today has a lot of new instruments to communicate quickly with different types of visitors.
The following day I entered a museum, and when I arrived at the bookshop I found neither a pencil displaying the museum’s logo. In that moment I thought again about the question I was asked the previous day, and that a good museum communication consists also of gadgets and not only of posts to be published on social media.

A good museum, which wants to communicate effectively with visitors, is recognizable also by items for sale at the bookshop.
In this post you’ll find three reasons why museums gadgets can improve museum communication.
