Watch 'Restoration Conversations' at Museo Sant'Orsola with museum director Morgane Lucquet Laforgue, at the exhibition 'Revelations'
Premiered on 8 October 2024
Join us on-line for another episode of Restoration Conversations at the future museum of Sant'Orsola. Presenter Linda Falcone speaks with Museum Director Morgane Lucquet Laforgue on-site at this former convent, soon to transform into a permanent hub for art, culture and craftsmanship.
Construction will soon begin at the future museum of Sant'Orsola, and we're set on capturing the space as it now stands, a testimony to centuries of women's history, turned exhibition space for contemporary artists.
We'll explore the ancient complex's visible foundations and comtemplate the alleged burial site of Leonardo's Mona Lisa (Lisa Gherardini) who lived at Sant'Orsola with her daughter, after being widowed.

The museum, scheduled to open in 2026, is still a 'construction site', and temporary home to etheral sculptural works by contemporary French artist Juliette Minchin, which evoke the convent's Baroque history and continue to trasform before the visitors' gaze. Momumental fresco-like drawings by Italian artist Marta Roberti draw us into the rooms where Sant'Orsola's all-female community lived and worked from the 1300s onwards.
