Starting in February, the annual theme of Nature will expand into a wide cultural programme encompassing music, theatre, and dance, transforming Palazzo Te into a multidisciplinary laboratory. The programme will open with the concert Armonie di Natura by the Nuova Scuola di Musica, launching a series of events designed to interweave different artistic languages interpreted through the annual theme of Nature.

In 2026, Palazzo Te also renews its social commitment through inclusive projects aimed at vulnerable categories and local communities, reaffirming the museum as a space for listening, connection, and wellbeing. Within this framework, the conference “L’Arte che cura”, scheduled for October 2026, takes shape as part of the collaboration between Palazzo Te and ASST Mantova, placing cultural welfare and research on the relationship between heritage, wellbeing, and community at its core.

2026 thus strengthens Palazzo Te’s role as a vibrant and contemporary institution, capable of offering an open cultural vision in which Nature becomes both a lens through which to read the past and a tool for imagining new ways of inhabiting the present.
