# Countless Cities

> Countless Cities is an international cultural platform exploring how cities shape human life and how people can shape their future through art, architecture, research, education and civic imagination.

Countless Cities was created by Farm Cultural Park in Sicily. It brings together two complementary projects: the Museum of the Cities of the World in Palermo, open throughout the year, and the international Biennial of the Cities of the World, held across Sicily.

## The Museum

The Museum of the Cities of the World is located in the former Convent of the Crociferi at Via Maqueda 206, in the historic centre of Palermo.

Through contemporary art, architecture, photography, films, installations and personal stories, the Museum explores cities, communities, human rights, peace, freedom, migration and urban transformation.

The Biennial has presented four editions across Sicily:
