The Public University joins this initiative with proposals in the Faculty of Humanities, the ECU, and the Polytechnic.

La Universidad Nacional de Rosario will be the focus of a new edition of the Open Museum Night, organized by the Municipality of Rosario. Various UNR faculties and institutions will open their doors to share their cultural, artistic, and technological heritage with the community.

At the Faculty of Humanities and Arts, the public will be able to participate in guided tours of the School of Anthropology Museum at 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (2nd floor, entrance on Entre Ríos Street). The exhibitions "Time of Migrants," a graphic and poetic exhibition curated by Renata Bacalini, Cynthia Blaconá, and Sabina Florio, and "Drawings I Never Drew," produced by the Drawing II – Commission A department of the School of Fine Arts, with the participation of Belén Rimini, Catalina Silvetti, and Pablo Silvestri, will be presented in the Assembly Hall (ground floor, entrance on Entre Ríos Street). "Frictions in the Archive," an intervention on the "Rosario League of Decency" Archive at the School of History, will be presented by Cynthia Blaconá, Sabina Florio, and Laura Rippa. The guided tour will take place at 7:00 p.m. Finally, at 9 p.m., members of the Anthropology Museum will share the experience "A History Beneath the Humanities Patio" in the Faculty's historic courtyard (West Gallery).

Starting at 19 p.m., the University Cultural Space (ECU) will offer an open lutherie talk led by Martín García Facal, focusing on the electronics of electric guitars and basses. Then, starting at 21 p.m., there will be a live printmaking session, where attendees can bring a T-shirt or tote bag to create their own designs.

For its part, the Instituto Politécnico Superior will open the doors of the Technological Museum of the Escuela Industrial de la Nación (National Industrial School), with a tour of the workshops, the boiler room, and the museum, where the institution's technological heritage will be showcased. For the first time, it will exhibit its collection of engines and vehicles, which contains fully restored examples dating back to the beginning of the last century. Among them are automobiles, as well as ship engines and a World War I biplane, used by a group of French aviators to plan their flight across the Andes in 1920. 

All of these objects were restored by students, professors, and graduates of the Polytechnic. They will act as guides during guided tours of the exhibition, which not only showcases the collection of machines and tools that drove the great transformations of the last century, but also emphasizes the importance of technical education. The program also includes an exhibition of educational models and previously unpublished documents, and a live performance by two bands made up of students and professors.

Through these actions, the Universidad Nacional de Rosario It continues to actively participate in the city's cultural processes, opening its doors and showcasing not only its production, but also its deep ties to Rosario.
