MuMa Museo del Mare Milazzo
Milazzo
(14 Km)
El "MuMa Museo del Mare Milazzo", situado en el antiguo Castillo de Milazzo, es un museo único, un viaje espiritual para redescubrir la armonía entre el hombre y el mar a través de la ciencia y el arte. Se ocupa de la protección del medio ambiente y la educación, con un mensaje dirigido a concienciar, especialmente a los jóvenes, sobre la protección y preservación del mar.
MuMa nació de la conmovedora y trágica historia de un cachalote, rebautizado "Siso", que en el verano de 2017 encontró la muerte frente a las Islas Eolias debido a una red de pesca ilegal y al plástico que había ingerido. Tras la extraordinaria recuperación de los huesos y la reconstrucción del esqueleto llevada a cabo por el biólogo Carmelo Isgrò, nació la idea de crear el museo, que tiene como centro el majestuoso esqueleto del cachalote Siso suspendido en el aire por cables, junto con la red ilegal que lo mató y el plástico que se encontró en su vientre.
El MuMa no es el clásico Museo del Mar, sino un lugar donde la Ciencia se encuentra con el Arte en sus más amplias facetas. Los visitantes experimentarán el conocimiento gracias a vídeos didácticos interactivos, experiencias de realidad virtual, realidad aumentada e instalaciones artísticas multimedia que les llevarán a tomar conciencia de los impactos antrópicos sobre el medio ambiente para un cambio necesario en la relación hombre-mar.
