description of museum exhibit
Avviato alla fine degli anni ‘80, nel corso delle sue varie edizioni il progetto ha consentito di salvare più di quattrocento opere, una sorta di ideale museo con testimonianze che spaziano dalle epoche proto-storiche fino alle soglie dell’età contemporanea, dall’archeologia all’oreficeria, alle arti plastiche e pittoriche, inizialmente di area veneta, poi lombardo-veneta e infine, da quest’anno, in un quadro nazionale

\"It may very well be taken as the basis for a characteristic school of expression in the plastic and pictorial arts, and give to us again a renewed mastery of them, a mine of fresh motifs, and a lesson in simplicity and originality of expression.\"

\"The savage (for the savage is to ages what the child is to years) expresses the emotions produced in him by surrounding objects in a similar manner; and language and gesture, together with plastic or pictorial imitation, become the image of the combined effect of those objects, and of his apprehension of them.\"

Sorry, I used the wrong excerpt for the last reference, it should have been:
\"This instinct and intuition of the poetical faculty are still more observable in the plastic and pictorial arts; a great statue or picture grows under the power of the artist as a child in a mother’s womb; and the very mind which directs the hands in formation is incapable of accounting to itself for the origin, the gradations, or the media of the process.\"
