MUSEO DELLA VALLE DI ZOGNO

In April 1982, the Museum received the special mention of the European Museum of the year Award in Stockholm for the quality of its collections and exhibitions.

The museum consists of 12 exhibition rooms: The Blacksmith's Forge, The kitchen of old houses, The bedroom, Grazing and work in the fields, Milk processing, The clogs, the cobbler and the hunt, The village tavern, Household chores and tools, Candlesticks, games and the gramola, The looms, the puppets, the lamps, Popular religiosity e Archaeology and Palaeontology (hall being refurbished).

In addition, there are two rooms in a building annexed to the main building set up with temporary exhibitions and an outdoor area where old means of transport and machinery for working the fields are on display.

The objects of use, working tools and implements that belong to the collection of the Museo della Valle have accompanied man's existence in the past in the Bergamasque mountain environment. Here the objects are taken up and brought back to life in their environment, the house, the stable, the courtyard, the countryside, recounting their purpose and use, together with the tenacious human ingenuity that still drives us in search of new creations today.
