It was supposed to remain open for a year and close last June, then it was extended until September and now the regional directorate of the Museums of Sardinia has decided to keep it open until the end of the year. The exhibition curated by the stylist Antonio Marras and dedicated to the cabinetmaker who has renewed the furnishings of Sardinian houses will be open until December 31st .
The exhibition is housed in the Clemente Pavilion, the first to resume activities in the “Sanna” National Museum in Sassari, which reopened its doors entirely two months ago, registering an average of almost two thousand visitors a month. And Sunday admission is free from 9 to 19.30.
Furniture maker and patron, Gavino Clemente donated a formidable collection to the Sassari Museum in 1947. The endowment was enriched in the following years with other donations and some purchases.
An exhibition that made people discuss that proposed by Antonio Marras, who does not follow a chronological path and assembles the pieces with an artistic sense or by commonality of use. The visitor is accompanied, throughout the journey, by the background music of Paolo Fresu and the voices of six Sardinian writers : Marcello Fois, Flavio Soriga, Bianca Pitzorno, Elvira Serra, Antonella Anedda and Francesco Abate.
On 3 August the Sassari museum , directed by Elisabetta Grassi , was completely reopened and had been closed for six years due to a profound restyling action. Also in this case the setting is modern, airy, made to strike the visitor visually and with brief and incisive historical notions.
