Inaugurated in 2004, Trieste’s Bora Museum is much more than a museum, it is a laboratory and showcase that unravels the mysteries of the wind.
The bora is the famous wind of Trieste
The bora is one of Trieste’s most famous features, and it deserves to be celebrated in a special place, as it is in this “museum in progress.” The Bora Museum itinerary is entitled “20 Clues for a Museum” and is a kind of investigation, a search for evidence of the validity of the idea of the museum. The numbered itinerary attempts to bring order to the disorder that is a natural feature of wind.
An audio guide for visitors
The tour moves visitors in two constantly intersecting directions: “Memory” and “Creativity,” with interesting evidence of the past but also attempting to show what new ideas can be invented on this theme. On the one hand, visitors can hold on to the famous bora ropes (memory) and on the other they can listen to an audio guide dedicated to the museum (creativity). The wind is invisible. The museum is seen and unseen. 
Is the wind “playful air?”
The visit gives space to the imagination. Even imagining a museum becomes something to be experienced and told. Visits are always personalized, and there are also workshops for schools and kindergartens, where young visitors can become familiar with the wind in a playful way. Can the wind be envisaged as “playful air” or not?
A unique collection of boxed winds
Like any “real and serious museum,” the Museum’s Warehouse has its own collections starting with the “Archive of the World's Winds:” a bizarre collection of boxed winds, a game that turns visitors into exhibitors. In fact many visitors, after discovering the Warehouse, send in their home wind or a wind they picked up on holiday, thus becoming Wind Ambassadors. Currently there are more than 130 bottled, boxed or packaged winds from places all over the world.
The Museum's Art Collection is “a small wind gallery” containing quality works by talented artists including Pascutto, Pastrovicchio, Pezzolato, Spigai and others relevant to the museum's themes. Also of great interest is the Silvio Polli Archive of photographs, scientific publications, newspapers, scientific instruments which have been made available by the family of the great wind scholar.
