Ethnography and anthropology museums

The Museum is in a country villa belonging to counts of the Azzoni Avogadro familiy, surrounded by a rose garden. It enjoys a splendid panoramic position at the foot of the National Park (Parco Nazionale Dolomiti Bellunesi). It conserves and valorizes an important intangible and material heritage, about the most meaningful aspects of rural life of this area. The sections about the mobility of population are very interesting (wet nurses, emigration to South Brazil), as the sections about the adaptation of the people to the unusual character of the ground. Particular attention has been given to intangible heritage (folk-tales, legends, songs) and for this reason the expography combines different representational media: visual, sound and textual. In the Museum you can find a specialized library, an archive of photos, films and recordings.
