The reopening of the Parisian museums after the attacks

The tragic events that occurred last weekend – which saw as protagonist the city of Paris – have diverted the life of its inhabitants and of all of us, triggering fear and extreme reactions, putting us in the condition of losing our rationality and the lucidity to keep on doing our daily activities (attitude which could actually be therapeutic in a moment like this).

All busy trying to protect ourselves, we risk to fall in a permanent paranoia which would stop us to live well, making us play the same scary game terrorism is playing with us.

Paris, instead, reacts and lives again, starting exactly from what should be the most rooted thing in human civilization: culture. Culture as a social mediation, as a meeting between different people, culture as a symbol of peace.

The main museums of the cities opened their doors again: the Musée du Louvre, the Centre Pompidou, the Grand Palais, the Musée du Luxembourg and the Palais de Tokyo confirmed the news through their social channels.

The network of the 14 civic museums of the French capital – among which the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris and the Petit Palais – will go back to its normal time schedule starting from tomorrow.

The best fight is to keep on resisting peacefully without giving up to the system of terror, but also to a more insidious and silent enemy: disinformation. 

"Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become words.
Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior.
Keep your behaviors positive because your behaviors become your habits.
Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values.
Keep your values ​​positive because your values ​​become your destiny"
