SUMMARY:MARIA LUIGIA’S GIFT. Support the restoration of a forgotten treasure
DESCRIPTION:SUPPORT THE PROJECT\nART BONUS \n“Il dono di Maria Luigia” is an Art Bonus project promoted by the Ministry of Culture\, a permanent tax scheme established to encourage financial support for public cultural heritage. Donations made to this project\, intended for restoration\, maintenance and enhancement work\, entitle businesses and professionals to a tax credit equal to 65% of the amount donated. \nIndividuals\, non-commercial organisations and businesses may support the project. Donations made entitle the donor to a tax credit equal to 65% of the amount donated\, to be spread over three annual instalments.\nFor individuals and non-commercial organisations\, the benefit is limited to 15% of taxable income\, whilst for businesses it is limited to 5‰ of annual turnover.\nPayments must be made using traceable payment methods\, in accordance with current legislation. \nFor more information\, click here. \nTHE COLLECTION\nIn 1819\, Marie Louise of Austria donated a splendid collection of wax fungi to the University\, comprising over a hundred specimens of great artistic and scientific value. It is a unique collection\, invaluable for mycological study and identification thanks to its faithful reproduction of details\, dimensions and colours. For over a century\, the city of Parma has been unable to appreciate the Duchess’s gift\, which remained hidden from the public for a long time.\nTime has taken its toll on the materials and the original craftsmanship\, making a conservation restoration essential to restore Marie Louise’s mushrooms to their former glory. The restoration of the collection will allow it to be returned to the city\, two centuries after the donation\, enriching its accessible heritage. \nWHERE TO FIND IT\nOnce the restoration is complete\, the Museum of Natural History will house part of the collection within the section dedicated to Marie Louise’s Cabinet of Sciences. The remaining fungi will be housed at the Botanical Museum\, which will open at the Botanical Gardens\, displaying a selection of historical materials produced or preserved by the city of Parma over the course of more than five centuries. \nWHY SAVE IT?\nWax modelling\, the art form behind this collection\, has an intriguing history. Originating within the tradition of votive offerings\, its techniques soon extended to human anatomy and botany. The short lifespan of wax has\, over time\, had two contrasting effects. On the one hand\, other techniques based on papier-mâché or plaster have taken over\, whilst\, on the other hand\, the value of the extremely rare surviving collections has risen dramatically. \nContact\nUO Rapporti con il Territorio\, Sport e Public Engagement \ne-mail: uopublicengagement@unipr.it \nManager: Magda Gandolfi \ne-mail: magda.gandolfi@unipr.it \ntel. +39 0521 034575 \n  \nDownload the brochure

SUMMARY:‘Parpaja’ at MUST: when collaboration between schools and museums becomes an exhibition project
DESCRIPTION:The collaboration between MUST – the Museum of Natural Historiography – and the Melloni Institute in Parma has resulted in a new initiative that brings together education\, creativity and natural heritage. The centrepiece is ‘Parpaja’\, the artwork created by Class 3B AFM during the 2025/2026 academic year\, which won first prize at the fourth edition of Planet Art Camp 2026.\n\n\n\nThe relationship between the artwork and the museum began precisely when it was entered into the competition: Parpaja was\, in fact\, photographed in the MUST’s Butterfly Room\, the space housing Don Boarini’s lepidopteran collection. This choice has given rise to a significant connection between the installation and the museum setting\, further emphasised by the very title of the work: ‘Parpaja’\, a term from the Parma dialect meaning ‘butterfly’\, which directly references the subject of the collection. \nFrom this initial experience\, the idea took shape to bring the work back to the Sala delle Farfalle\, transforming that initial connection into a fully-fledged exhibition. Parpaja’s return to the very place where it was originally set for the competition thus takes on a special significance: not merely a curatorial choice\, but the continuation of a journey that brings the students’ creative exploration into dialogue with the natural heritage of the Museum and of Parma. The collection and the installation share the same space\, offering visitors the chance to discover new connections between artistic expression\, the observation of nature and the identity of the local area. \n\n\n\n\nThe exhibition also serves as an important testament to the relationship between MUST and the city’s educational institutions. The collaboration with the Melloni Institute demonstrates how the university museum can be not only a place for the conservation\, study and dissemination of scientific heritage\, but also a space open to schools’ projects\, participation and the enhancement of educational experiences. It is an opportunity to introduce students to the world of museums and\, at the same time\, to enrich the Museum through new forms of expression and perspectives. \nWith Parpaja\, MUST thus renews its commitment to promoting opportunities for collaboration with the local community\, fostering the convergence of scientific culture\, creativity and education\, and consolidating the role of the University Museum System as an active partner in the city’s cultural life. \n\n\n\n\nOpening on Friday 6 November 2026 at 3.00 pm. Free admission to the MUST from 3.00 pm to 5.00 pm. \nVenue Classroom F – University Headquarters\, Via Università 12\, Parma. \nExhibition dates: 6 November to 5 December 2026. \nDownload the poster. \n\n\n\n\n
