2 June: what is celebrated today
2 June is a date of contrasts that, deep down, speak to each other. On one hand, the fragility of the human body and the daily struggle against a little-visible disease; on the other, the strength of culture as a space for memory, encounter and transformation. Between science and art, this day reminds us that caring is also understanding.
World Day for the Fight against Myasthenia Gravis
Myasthenia gravis is a rare disease that often shows itself in small everyday gestures: an eyelid that droops, a voice that weakens, a body that tires too soon. World Day for the Fight against Myasthenia Gravis seeks to make this reality visible and break the silence that often surrounds rare diseases.
Beyond physical symptoms, myasthenia poses an emotional and social challenge both for those who have it and for their families. This day underlines the importance of early diagnosis, access to appropriate treatments and a better-informed society, capable of offering support without minimising or stigmatising.
International Museums Week
From 2 to 8 June, International Museums Week opens physical and digital doors to invite global participation. Museums cease to be silent, static spaces and become living forums, where the past dialogues with the challenges of the present.
This week celebrates the transformative power of culture: its ability to generate critical thinking, build community and offer new perspectives on problems such as inequality, climate change and disinformation. Visiting a museum, sharing a work or taking part in a cultural activity thus becomes an act of connection and of the future.
