Intro
The Museum's main office is located in a 19th-century dwelling house.
The museum's main venue is located in a 19th-century dwelling house. The permanent exhibition provides a glimpse into the history, nature and culture of the valley with a focus on the traditional straw industry. Temporary exhibits investigate particular aspects of Onsernone's present and past, including the presence of important personalities from the European cultural world such as Max Frisch, Alfred Andersch or Golo Mann.
The Onsernone Museum also operates a watermill with stone millstones dating back to the 18th century. Different types of polenta flour can be purchased at the mill, and a small exhibition allows visitors to learn about the history and technology of Onsernonese mills.
Lastly, the museum organizes guided cultural walks to discover the Onsernone Valley area, its nature and its culture: an opportunity to experience and learn more about the area as presented in the exhibits.
