Whether you’re in the Creative Writing Department or any other campus department, you’re welcome to come visit, hang out, converse, and rez what you like here. Perhaps a media-on-a-prim where visitors can sample your creative writing! Art will be adding the Writer’s Lounge Dome very soon, but the lounge is Open Now!

Tullia d’Aragona

Of course every neighborhood at MU is magical, but for all the “Maria vs Nostra” trash talking we’ve heard it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate Tullia. In addition to wonderful artists, Tullia is home to 3 of MU’s most beloved facilities:

Writer’s Lounge
KATYPERRYOPOLIS!
Life Drawing Studio

The Medici University Tullia neighborhood was named after Tullia d’Aragona (c. 1510–1556) a poet in my father’s court in Florence. When I was just 5 years old Tullia composed Dialogues on the Infinity of Love (1547), a Neo-Platonist assertion of women’s sexual and emotional autonomy within exchanges of romantic love. Who could possibly be a better patron saint for the MU Writer’s Lounge than a poet and thinker as remarkable as Tullia d’Aragona!
