Il museo in libera uscita, a project curated by ARTECO (Beatrice Zanelli and Camilla Zennaro) and MAET – Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography, part of the University of Turin's Museum System (SMA), in collaboration with the network of the Turin Civic Libraries, realized thanks to the contribution of District 8 – City of Turin.
Photographs by Francesca Cirilli. Graphic design by Studio Grand Hotel.

The initiative aims to valorize the cultural heritage held by MAET through the display of three large posters on the external facades of the three civic libraries in Turin's District 8: Alberto Geisser, Natalia Ginzburg, and Dietrich Bonhoeffer. The outdoor exhibition features a selection of works from the museum's ethnographic collection, the result of a participatory project involving a diverse group of citizens and the photographer Francesca Cirilli.

The project aimed to invite some citizens to become spokespersons for a hidden heritage, to be rediscovered and shared, making it partly accessible to the public despite the museum's closure for over forty years.

The three "outgoing" works: an Egungun Mask from the Yoruba culture (Nigeria, 19th century), used in Gelede rituals to symbolize protection and fertility; a Xylophone from the Gamelan orchestra (Java, 20th century), part of a musical ensemble of Indonesian origin; and Decorative Hairpins in colored Ara feathers (Mato Grosso, Brazil, 20th century), used by the Bororo community in traditional ceremonies.
These objects represent for the city of Turin a testimony of the histories, practices, and alterities of different peoples.
