providing access to culture and establishing links to a shared heritage to people who are cut off from privileges and resources is a wonderful and creative commitment!

Christian Greco firmly included diversity as a vital and fundamental aspect of todays society in his museum policy. Understanding that a museum, proudly financed by the government, is part of the public sphere, he truly serves democracy in its aim to educate all.

The type of outreach the Museum is being successful at is an excellent way of creating awareness of (and removing fears about) 'other' cultures. This is immensely important for a better world, but it is also a direct threat to the extreme right, which thrives on ignorance, distorted information, and instincts of nationalism. No wonder they're aggressive; but also the best indication the good work needs to continue!

The museum cultural and national heritage belongs not only to Italians but to the whole world and all of humanity - Keep the Good work for a better world. Proud that unique Egyptian objects are here on display. Ayman Simman

These public outreach measures by the Museo Egizio, under the leadership of Christian Greco, are to be applauded. Radical right-wing politics, nationalism and fascism are the enemies of both scientific inquiry and the beauty and variety of human culture. We must oppose such assaults wherever they occur.

Heritage of the world has long been a privilege of only some and the actions of the Museo Egizio encouraging others to access it by allowing Arabic speaking population affordable access is to be congratulated!
The attack on the museum and its director only confirm once more that museums are sites of political struggle and that we, professionals dealing with the past and its curation in the present, are always going to be targets of nationalist and fascist movements who wish to misuse and control the access to heritage.

Fascism and intolerance are antithetical to science and culture. Greco is doing good work presiding over the renaissance of the Museo Egisio.

Christian Greco and his team are doing an amazing work. Turin Museum is an example for excellent scientific work and the attempts to integrate all members of society and to encourage them to visit museums is an example for many other institutions.

Christian Greco is doing superb work in Torino and greatly benefiting the community. This is not a political dispute. His adversaries are intolerant, ignorant thugs.
