VILLA GIULIA (ROME) - Do you remember the film saga "A Night at the Museum", with Ben Stiller undisputed guardian of the natural history museum in New York struggling with dinosaur skeletons, stuffed animals, statues and mannequins?
It is the inspiration of the Etruscan museum of Villa Giulia in Rome, forced to remain closed because Lazio has been classified as a Covid area, which announces its intention to "let its works speak".
Thanks to Entertainment Game Apps, Ltd, a leading company in the sector of strategy videogames, announces the team of the Roman museum led by Valentino Nizzo, "we are ready to land on the Twitch livestreaming platform. Tuesday 19 January at 3 pm we will be guests of Vania and the shop of the witch (twitch.tv/labottegadellastrega) to talk about videogames and connections with museums, starting with Mi Rasna, the EGA video game that since 2018 has catapulted the Etruscans into the world of gaming and made known ancient stories and masterpieces to thousands of people ".
In that video game the Museum of Villa Giulia put its own contribution, collaborating directly on the scientific contents.
Hence the request to the public that crowds the very popular social media of the museum: "Are you ready to play with us?"
And not only that, because on Wednesday 20th another meeting, at 5pm on Twich will be dedicated to the 2020 Romolus event series directed by Matteo Rovere with the background of the collaboration that the museum experts had with the production to recreate the atmospheres and suggestions of 8th century BC (twitch.tv/theoriaeisopseis).
