included
The first section tells the story of the Waldensians from their origins (1174) to the present day through an articulated and interactive itinerary. In the second section, of an ethnographic nature, the environments of home, school and work are reconstructed and the cycle of life in the Waldensian Valleys between the 18th and 19th centuries is depicted with original furnishings and objects. Over the years the Waldensian Museum has greatly increased its tangible and intangible heritage and shares cultural projects with organisations both in Italy and abroad.
Today, there are many activities to promote Protestant culture organised by the Waldensian Cultural Centre Foundation in which the Museum is embedded, which also welcomes visitors to the Waldensian Valleys Eco-Historical Museum System of which the Waldensian Museum is the leader.
Temporary exhibitions dedicated to Waldensian history, the Waldensian valleys and Italian and European Protestantism are connected to the Museum.
