The Journal of the Municipal Galleries is a platform for research and reflection that relates the Galleries’ current programme with the history of its five exhibition spaces. Departing from the most recent initiatives, the Journal reactivates archive material and publishes conversations, commissioned essays and artistic contributions. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, the Journal works with several formats of text and image and is conceived as a laboratory open to participation and debate.
