Palermo | The Museum of the Cities of the World
Steps from Quattro Canti, in Palermo’s historic centre, FARM brings the former Collegio dei Crociferi and its beautiful cloister back to life. Here, the Museum of the Cities of the World explores how cities shape our lives—and how we can shape their future.
A pochi passi dai Quattro Canti, nel centro storico di Palermo, FARM restituisce nuova vita all’ex Collegio dei Crociferi e al suo splendido chiostro. Qui, il Museo delle Città del Mondo esplora come le città plasmano le nostre vite e come noi possiamo trasformare il loro futuro.
Mind blowing! We stumbled across this place and I am so glad we did. Every emotion was felt and I have already recommended it to others. A really worthwhile project.
Sconvolgente, nel senso migliore del termine! Ci siamo imbattuti in questo posto per caso e sono davvero felice che sia successo. Ho provato ogni tipo di emozione e l'ho già consigliato ad altre persone. Un progetto davvero prezioso che vale assolutamente la pena visitare.
— Claire Grainger

Livable Cities require Peace, Freedom, and Rights
Contemporary wars and authoritarian regimes destroy public spaces, fracture communities, and turn cities into places of fear and silence. This exhibition invites a collective reflection on how the absence of peace, freedom, and human rights makes cities unlivable — leaving behind ruins, both visible and invisible.

A Platform for Change
There’s no magic formula for making a city more beautiful or livable — what feels like a dream to some may be a nightmare to others. Cities are complex, ever-evolving places shaped by diverse identities, needs, and aspirations; this exhibition explores what truly makes a city successful and desirable for its people.

Motorefisico
Untitled is a site-specific bleacher installation by the collective Motorefisico that transforms the Cloister of the Museum of the Cities of the World into a space for gathering, observation, and participation—a contemporary public square where visitors are not merely spectators, but active participants in the life of the Museum.

REDROOM di MP5
A bedroom, seen from within, is engulfed in flames. The only safe space appears to be the one defined by the bed, where a group of people rests together. The closeness and proximity of their bodies become both a physical and philosophical refuge from destruction, reminding us that solidarity is our first shelter.

Miracle in Favara: where it all began
When everything seemed destined to collapse, a small cultural centre chose art and culture to revive a historic neighbourhood, giving a new identity and future to a city that appeared to have neither.
Quando tutto sembrava destinato a crollare, un piccolo centro culturale scelse l’arte e la cultura per rinnovare un centro storico e dare una nuova identità e un futuro a una città senza passato né presente.

“It's one of the great joys of travel, and indeed life, to come across something so unexpected and mind-bendingly wonderful in the midst of what appears to be the bleakest of places, that one's ideas of what's possible change entirely."
"Una delle più grandi gioie del viaggio, e della vita stessa, è imbattersi in qualcosa di così inaspettato e meravigliosamente sconvolgente nel mezzo di quello che sembra il luogo più desolato, tanto da cambiare completamente la propria idea di ciò che è possibile”.
Vesna Marić per Lonely Planet

" This is a surprising place of possibility and immagination. This is a place you must see. It’s doing things you would never ever imagined ".
«Questo è un luogo sorprendente, fatto di possibilità e immaginazione. È un posto che bisogna assolutamente vedere. Qui accadono cose che non avresti mai potuto immaginare.»
Ex Carcere Agrigento. Here, where everything seemed to be over, a new story has just begun.
The historic opening of Farm Cultural Park in the former San Vito Prison in Agrigento marks a new chapter in the city’s urban regeneration. Closed for over 30 years, the site has been transformed into a vibrant cultural hub for contemporary art, creativity, and social innovation. Granted in temporary use by the Agenzia del Demanio, the project aims to revive a symbolic space, enrich the local cultural landscape, and attract global creatives and visitors.
L’apertura storica di Farm Cultural Park nell’ex Carcere di San Vito ad Agrigento segna un nuovo capitolo nella rigenerazione urbana della città. Chiuso da oltre 30 anni, il sito è stato trasformato in un vivace hub culturale dedicato all’arte contemporanea, alla creatività e all’innovazione sociale. Concesso in uso temporaneo dall’Agenzia del Demanio, il progetto mira a restituire vita a uno spazio simbolico, arricchire il panorama culturale locale e attrarre creativi e visitatori da tutto il mondo.
"The former San Vito Prison is finally being returned to the community. For the first time in nearly six hundred years, this place will no longer be a closed institution, but an open space for the city, for culture, and for people."
"L'ex Carcere di San Vito viene finalmente restituito alla collettività. Per la prima volta, dopo quasi seicento anni, questo luogo non sarà più uno spazio chiuso, ma un luogo aperto alla città, alla cultura e alle persone."
