The Museum of Abandonment, a digital museum aiming to offer a historical narrative on the phenomenon of child abandonment and institutionalization in Romania, has opened an exhibition at Cartierul Creativ in Bucharest’s Amzei Square.
The exhibition, titled Unboxing Museum of Abandonment – Live Museum, is open until September 7th.
It showcases some of the research activities of the digital museum and a part of the Sighet. Home-Hospital exhibition, which offers visitors an immersive experience into the history of the Sighet Home Hospital for Juveniles, which was opened between 1973 and 2003. The institution, one of 30 similar ones in the country, was where children labeled ‘irrecoverable’ were admitted.
