Large meeting of graduate workers and peasants
CLAUDE HUDELOT
CHINA UNDER CONSTRUCTION
As he spent a large part of his life in China, Claude Hudelot has gathered together several impressive photo collections depicting the People’s Republic of China.
The systematic use of photography for propaganda purposes became one of the prerogatives of the regime in which even Mao Zedong himself often liked to pose.
Foto industria is the first exhibition of this large and surprising collection, more than 300 photographs of carefully composed groups and production workshops to glorify the image of working to build the Communist State.

Housed in fifteenth-century Palazzo Galvani, the Archaeology Museum boasts 200,000 works with one of the most important Italian archaeology collections, comprising artefacts from the old University Museum, those donated by the painter Pelagio Palagi, and those from excavations done in the Bologna area in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The museum’s Etruscan section is the starting point for learning about the civilization of Po Valley Etruria; it also features masterpieces of Greek and Roman art and a particularly important collection of Egyptian antiquities.
