Palladio Museum in Vicenza

Located in the heart of Vicenza, the Palladio Museum, a partner of the TICHO project, is a research centre and a museum dedicated to the extraordinary architectural legacy of Andrea Palladio. In addition to hosting exhibitions and in-depth pathways, the museum stands out for its commitment to cultural and sensory accessibility, offering inclusive experiences for all visitors.

A journey of Accessibility and Inclusion


Chosen as the Pilot Site of the TICHO project, the Museum boasts a solid experience in museum accessibility and stands out for its constant desire to innovate in order to ensure a more inclusive cultural experience.

As a virtuous example in the Italian museum landscape, the Palladio Museum now takes another step forward in digitalisation and innovation with TICHO, integrating advanced technologies to further enhance the accessibility of its content.

Technological Innovation with TICHO


Thanks to the TICHO project, the Palladio Museum will be able to enhance the accessibility of its heritage through innovative digital tools, including:

  • Interactive mobile application that allows visitors to customise their journey according to their needs.
  • Augmented reality (AR) and immersive digital content, to explore Palladian architecture in an interactive way.
  • Advanced audio descriptions and translations in Italian Sign Language (LIS), to enhance the enjoyment of works also for people with sensory disabilities.
  • Artificial Intelligence for the creation of digitised thematic pathways with the support of virtual assistants
  • Interactive and engaging gamified pathways for a young audience

This innovation will make the Palladio Museum an experimental laboratory for digital accessibility in architectural heritage, with the aim of testing solutions that can be replicated in other museum contexts..
