The exhibition path

Palermo Felicissima is structured around 4 thematic areas: Architecture and Urban Planning, Economy and Society. Visitors have the opportunity to live an engaging and suggestive experience through interactive tables, light books, and touch screens illustrating the history, major urban transformations, architectural achievements, economic sectors, and social phenomena of the Belle Époque in Sicily.

A large curved and immersive screen tells the epic story of the Florio family through an animated film. An immersive room, thanks to a 360° projection, transports visitors on a multi-sensory journey celebrating the floral and refined aesthetics of Art Nouveau. Two stations with virtual reality headsets finally allow all visitors to take a "virtual stroll" through the faithfully reconstructed Palermo of 1892, depicting scenes from that era, from the under-construction Teatro Massimo to the pavilions of the grand National Exhibition, no longer in existence.
