On Tuesday 24 May, the Vatican Museums will present the multi-lingual catalogue “The Americas”, published by Edizioni Musei Vaticani and edited by Katherine Aigner and Fr. Nicola Mapelli, director of the Ethnological Museum.
This particularly significant publication is the first to be dedicated to the works – held in the Vatican ethnological collection – from those lands almost “at the end of the earth”, where more than three years ago the cardinal electors went to “find” the new Pope!
The occasion will also include the presentation of the new museum layout following the completion of important renovation works.
