Campolonghetto/Chiarmacis di Bagnaria Arsa (UD) – Il Museo delle Case Narranti

The Museum of Narrating Houses in Campolonghetto is an innovative street art project that transforms the small village of Bagnaria Arsa into a permanent open-air gallery. Established in 2022, this distributed museum has converted residential facades into living canvases, creating a unique narrative journey where murals and contemporary artistic installations engage with ancient myths, local traditions, and collective memories of the Friuli region. Each wall tells a specific story: from classical mythology characters to historical Friulian figures, from peasant traditions to symbols of regional identity. The artists involved have masterfully combined contemporary mural techniques with narrative depth, transforming the village into a space where urban art becomes a tool for cultural and identity enhancement. During the main event (June 12-14, 2026), the Museum comes alive with thematic guided tours led by local experts, artistic talks, and in-depth discussions that reveal the techniques, symbolic meanings, and stories behind each work. It is an immersive experience combining cultural education and aesthetic enjoyment, designed for both street art enthusiasts and those wanting to understand how contemporary art can revitalize small Friulian towns. The Museum of Narrating Houses represents a differentiated approach to valorization compared to traditional open-air museums: it does not celebrate art for its own sake, but uses it as a vehicle for territorial memory, creating authentic connections between the local community and visitors.
