Water Reservoir Museum Inaugurated in 2008, The Museo delle Acque is arranged inside an edifice in proximity of the medieval “conservoni”—reservoirs—that are part of the aqueduct of Mount Pacciano in Perugia. Two display areas are dedicated to the aspects connected with the daily use of water; the section “De abundantia aquae” illustrates the history of the medieval aqueduct, a grandiose work of engineering aimed at guaranteeing water supply for the acropolis, showing the structures to collect it, and illustrating its fundamental role in the urban development of the town.
