MUSEO DEL LEGNO
Museum | Tartano | Lombardia | Italy
The "Museo del Legno" in Tartano, Lombardy, Italy, is a visitor center of the Parco delle Orobie Valtellinesi, dedicated to the theme of wood as a vital material in the region. It is located in a former school building in the village of Piana in the Val Lunga, a side valley of Val Tartano.
The museum showcases the importance of wood in the past, present, and future of the region. It includes a botanical garden hosting the main tree species of the valley, and a historical sawmill illustrating traditional wood processing. These elements allow visitors to understand the diverse applications and cultural significance of wood in the local community.
A central concern of the museum is to raise awareness of the importance of the forest ecosystem and promote consciousness of preserving local culture and identity. Through interactive exhibitions and informative materials, visitors are introduced to the role of forests and wood in regional history and economy.
The "Museo del Legno" thus provides a comprehensive insight into the history and significance of wood in the region, and fosters understanding of sustainable management of natural resources.
