In a picturesque corner of Italy, Miramare Castle is unveiling two unmissable opportunities for cultural enrichment. Situated in Miramare, the castle is set to host a special “open doors” event at the Kosmos exhibition, a captivating voyage into the world of knowledge aboard the sailboat of enlightenment.
Tomorrow, May 1st, marks a significant anniversary: the departure of the frigate Novara from the historic port of Trieste on April 30th. In celebration, Miramare Castle will welcome visitors to explore the Kosmos exhibition, meticulously curated by the Miramare Museum and housed within the Castle’s Stables.
But that’s not all. The allure of Miramare Castle extends further with the enchanting presence of Carlotta’s scepter. Nestled within the Museum Rooms, this artifact adds a touch of magic to the visitor’s experience. For a limited time, guests can enjoy a special package deal, granting access to both the scepter and the “Kosmos” exhibition at an enticing price point.
Andreina Contessa, Director of the Historical Museum and Miramare Castle Park, expressed her enthusiasm for these offerings, especially tailored for local patrons. “We believe both exhibitions offer unique perspectives on modern history, showcasing our region’s rich heritage,” she remarked.
Drawing inspiration from the 19th century, the “Kosmos” exhibition sheds light on the pivotal role of scientific exploration in shaping our understanding of the natural world. Among the highlights is the renowned expedition of the frigate Novara, which departed from Trieste in 1857 under the patronage of Maximilian of Habsburg.
Adding a layer of historical significance is Carlotta’s scepter, a symbol of a bygone era. Gifted to the empress of Mexico during a momentous journey originating from Miramare, the scepter embodies the geopolitical dynamism of 19th-century Europe.
For those seeking to immerse themselves in this cultural tapestry, Miramare Castle offers a compelling incentive. Visitors purchasing the FVG Card during the promotion week can enjoy discounted access to the “Kosmos” exhibition, further enhancing their journey through history and knowledge.
As Marcel Proust once mused, true exploration lies not in seeking new landscapes, but in viewing the familiar with fresh eyes. Miramare Castle invites guests to embark on such a journey, where history, discovery, and enchantment converge in a truly unforgettable experience.
