They are free appointments, as mentioned, and will take place one Sunday a month for children aged 5 and over. The only request is to book and all the events will take place in the museum room dedicated to the advertising posters of the Magazzini Mele and it is the Emiddio Mele Foundation that bears all the costs of this splendid initiative for families.
The theme of the Wood of Wonders: public green
The theme of this edition is the discovery of public green so that children can become even more sensitive to the protection of nature and, in a playful way, even more aware of concepts such as sustainability, ecology and the environment. In each appointment they will discover the Verde del Bosco di Capodimonte, but we will also talk about other green spaces, and they will try their hand at the realization of architectural projects. The last day they will create, with their parents, a temporary artistic installation for the Bosco.
