With the aim of engaging even the youngest children, the interviews and contents of the Museum of the Little Horse of the Giara passed into the hands of a great artist, illustrator Pia Valentinis, who after analyzing the collected material transferred it into illustrations. Paintings that strengthen the museum exhibition with the ambitious goal of being able to reach different sensibilities. The illustrations themselves, with captions taken from the interviews, make up an original guide book for visiting the museum.
Pia valentinis’s illustrations, about forty in number, can be found throughout the museum’s rooms and are an integral part of the museum layout. The illustrations, both colored and black and white, were created by artist Pia valentinis in about a year and tell the story of the museum’s contents in a completely original way.
The Cavallino della Giara Museum is among the many museums in Sardinia and Italy with an ethnographic itinerary, which is why we wanted to create a different itinerary. A museum layout that would address the topics and objects of a scientific and ethnographic museum through the drawings a great artist.
Original illustrations by Pia Valentinis can be viewed by reservation.
