Dear and dear visitors,
We want to express our deep gratitude to the nearly three hundred people who honored us with their presence at the Hat Museum during the celebrations of International Museum Day 2024.
This year’s theme, "Museums, Education and Research", highlighted the importance of cultural institutions in offering a complete educational experience.
Your enthusiastic participation contributed to the success of the celebrations that took place on the weekend of 18 and 19 May, as well as to the promotion of a more conscious, sustainable and inclusive world.
We will continue to work with dedication to deliver enriching and memorable cultural experiences.
Thank you for being part of this cultural journey.
