MUSEO ETNOGRAFICO GAMBARINA

ALEXANDRIA (AL)
included
Alessandria's Ethnographic Museum 'Once Upon a Time' is located inside the 'Gambarina Vecchia', an eighteenth-century barracks, currently owned by the municipality. The exhibition area occupies 1600 square metres and has two floors

On the ground floor, an evocative route is outlined, which, taking advantage of the bay architecture of the former stables, reproduces the main moments of public and private life in rural society at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. The various 'Windows to the Past' reproduce the moment of birth, games, school, kitchen, bedroom, trousseau room and the wedding event. A special section is dedicated to the two World Wars. On the upper floor, you can admire the set-up of a schoolroom from the 1930s and the library containing books from the early 19th century.

The Museum is characterised by the various activities and events organised there. To keep up to date with our cultural offerings, we invite you to visit our Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/museogambarina/
