A record-breaking first edition

The first edition of ArtBeats in Bologna involved 4,442 visitors on the weekend of 16-17 September 2023 with very different audience targets with a 94.14% increase in admissions compared to the same weekend of the previous year.

With the exception of the first Sundays of the month promoted by the Ministry of Culture, therefore within a national initiative, the turnout recorded at ArtBeats stands out as the highest figure achieved in recent years.

The use of sound installations has in fact given the public the opportunity to return to already known museums and encourage others to visit them for the first time.
