Genoa launches its ‘Quiet Rooms’ at the Nervi Museums: new spaces for tranquillity and inclusion

The Nervi Museums are introducing ‘Quiet Rooms’: new spaces of tranquillity and inclusion where visitors can pause, catch their breath and experience art in a more intimate and mindful way.

Genoa is home, at the heart of the Nervi Museums, to new spaces dedicated to silence, listening and well-being. The Quiet Rooms, which have been opened at the Gallery of Modern Art and the Raccolte Frugone Museum, offer visitors a place to pause, catch their breath and find some peace and quiet during their visit. Designed to make the museum experience more accessible and inclusive, these rooms welcome anyone who needs a break, transforming the museum into an even more open space that is sensitive to different needs. An invitation to experience art at a more leisurely pace, in an environment that puts people first.

What are Quiet Rooms and why do they change the museum experience?

Quiet Rooms are spaces designed to offer a break to anyone who feels the need for one whilst exploring the museum. Quiet spaces, with soft lighting and soothing colours, where you can pause, breathe and rediscover your own rhythm, far from constant stimulation. An invitation to experience the museum at a more leisurely pace, listening to your own thoughts as well as to the artworks.

They represent an important step towards a more inclusive and people-centred culture. Inspired by the international ‘Room to Breathe’ model, they transform a visit into an experience that can offer not just discovery but also a sense of refuge and well-being. Spaces dedicated to relaxation are essential because they offer a tangible experience centred on listening and respecting each person’s own pace, helping to make the museum a more accessible, peaceful place that is truly open to everyone.
