The ‘Cuore’ Kid Pass 

The Kid Pass award includes the presentation of the ‘Cuore of Kid Pass’ , an acknowledgement that the organisation has decided to donate to 10 cultural realities to celebrate its first 10 years of activity.
Kid Pass is the first digital portal and magazine, which has become the point of reference for families with children who want to enjoy quality experiences: born as a startup in the incubator of the Science and Technology Park of Venice, it now has over 100 thousand consultations of the kidpass.it website every month, 20 thousand subscribers to the newsletter, more than 20 thousand events promoted and a community that includes 130 cultural structures. In particular, two annual appointments in the country’s museums and cultural venues have entered the family agenda: Kid Pass Days (this year the tenth edition took place on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 May in over 120 museums and cultural venues throughout Italy) and Avventure tra le pagine in collaboration with children’s authors (an annual appointment in November).

A weekend full of surprises

The last weekend of September includes a rich calendar of events.
On Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 September, besides the great day in the museum with Kid Pass, there will be a big party with Urban Nature, the event dedicated to nature and hosted in the outdoor area.
Also in the museum the official opening of Genius Loci, the new Explora exhibition. A permanent and interactive exhibition inside the Museum: a renovated 80 square metre space in which a playful-educational pathway on nature is created with video mapping and interactive tables with a focus on biodiversity and sustainability.
