MAMbo Italiano

... As in Museo d'Arte Moderna di Bologna, a relatively new modern art museum in a converted bakery, in this ancient of cities. And it was free !
The museum has a colllection of contemporary art and video installations, including a movie about a Soviet gulag, fortunately not graphic, but still disturbing. There were two special exhibits, one a joint exhibit of Jeroen De Rijke and Willem De Rooij (anyone familiar to you, Paul?). The other was an exhibit from Il treno di John Cage (1978), which had to be the noisiest exhibit I have seen.

No, I didn't know their work. But, I did a little research and thought your readers may be interested in this information too.
