The internal activity of the Historical Museum of Communications of Rome is aimed at the conservation, care, and promotion of the heritage through actions of:
- Maintenance;
- Cataloging;
- Archiving
The activities to be implemented are those related to museography as a discipline that deals with optimizing the museum structure and arranging the material, setting up collections, exhibition and technical solutions, the use of spaces, and security.
The research activity within the museum is carried out not only by the appointed staff but also through the support of training activities in internships, in the adoption of European directives, which foresee cultural exchanges and mutual enrichment with students of archival, museum, and public communication disciplines.
The Museum also opens its doors to scholars and collectors of postal, philatelic, and telecommunications material.
Research activity therefore allows the user to reclaim their cultural heritage, to become an active part of its transmission and enhancement. In this way, the museum listens to the aspirations of the community and takes on, in addition to the responsibility of conservation, that of interpreting the cultural dynamics of knowledge.
The Museum’s activity is directed outward with the intent to promote initiatives aimed at enhancing cultural activities through:
– Education; Guided tours; Exhibitions; Workshops
The museum is sensitive to establishing a network of contacts with other institutions operating in the sector, to promote initiatives aimed at supporting cultural tourism.
The section dedicated to education will manage interventions in collaboration with schools and libraries in the area to promote knowledge and calibrate the communicative language by adapting it to visitors, based on the level of schooling and the depth of detail required.
