Museum of the Val di Sole civilization

Museums and castles

Description

On the ground floor of a building which was used by the Austrian army as barracks, you’ll find the Museo della Civiltà Solandra (Museum of the Val di Sole Civilization) which was created by the Centro Studi Val di Sole, a cultural association. The museum opened in 1979 and was then enlarged in 1983. It hosts a permanent exhibition of objects that were commonly used in the past. All the tools are divided into different sections: tools used to secure basic necessities (agriculture, dairy production, wood), crafts and trades (carpenters, blacksmiths, coppersmiths, shoemakers).

Two important areas of the traditional Val di Sole house, the kitchen and the bedroom which were called the «stua» have also been reconstructed with great care and attention to details. Of particular interest is the area dedicated to the famous mycologist Giacomo Bresadola (born in 1847 in the small hamlet of Ortisé in Mezzana and then died in Trento in 1929), known as the «mushroom priest».

We recommend guests contact the organizers of each event before booking in order to verify in which language the guided tours or activities will be organized.
