Sono uno studente di storia dell'arte all'Universitร di Torino. Io e mio papร siamo andati per visitare la mostra "Giorgio Griffa: 90 anni" , ma non era visibile perchรฉ la Sala era in allestimento, quando invece doveva essere visitabile dal 27 marzo. Questa notizia, dell' impossibilitร di vedere la mostra, non era presente sul sito. ร una grave mancanza soprattutto verso i visitatori che partono da lontano per vedere il museo. Alla permanente do il voto 1, perchรฉ era tutta incentrata su artisti stranieri (eccetto Gilardi, De Maria e pochi altri). A fianco delle opere mancavano i numeri per capire di chi fossero, leggendo la corrispondenza sulle schede realizzate. Assurdo! Terribile รจ stato capire l'ordine delle stanze: ogni volta era difficile capire quale fosse la successiva stanza in cui andare. Ancora adesso vorrei capire dove fosse la stanza due, perchรฉ dopo la uno si poteva andare solo alla 3 o alla 4. In ultimo se siamo in un museo italiano le didascalie a fianco delle opere vanno prima in italiano. In molti casi erano prima in inglese o addirittura in tedesco. In altri casi erano solo in lingua straniera. Fortunatamente noi siamo entrati gratis con l'abbonamento musei perchรฉ pagare 18 โฌ x due biglietti (uno intero e uno ridotto) sarebbe stata una follia, per come รจ stato impostato il tutto. Solo il bar e il book shop si sono salvati, ma non basta.
