The museum's home is the "Ca' da Rivoi," a typical Blenio Valley building dating from before the 16th century; it bears the year 1658 on its chimneypiece. The ethnographic section displays furniture and objects from daily life as well as from indigenous folk traditions, tools for domestic crafts, herding and agriculture, an old kitchen with hearth and bread oven, and costumes. The area reserved for sacred art, on the other hand, preserves objects mainly from the Olivone church and the Upper Valley oratories such as sculptures, paintings, chests, goldsmithing, vestments, objects of worship, and votive offerings.
