Museo di Val Verzasca

Museo di Val Verzasca, Sonogno

We bring tradition and modernity into dialogue and propose a participatory approach.

The Verzasca Valley Museum is located in the heart of Sonogno in two buildings overlooking the village square. Casa Genardini is the main building where a typical Verzasca house is presented (kitchen, bedroom, school), an exhibition on chimney sweeps and a space for temporary exhibitions. Laboratory: is the modern building where the semi-nomadic life practices of the past are presented in an experimental way. The themes are transhumance, land use practices, and landscape development. A 3D model of the Verzasca valley provides an insight into the valley's historical changes, while the installation "My Verzasca" is the visitors' own creation of a subjective valley based on anecdotes and memories of the museum's guests. Other elements of the museum on the theoretical territory: the mill in Frasco, the small wild hay museum in Odro, and ethnographic itineraries in the Verzasca Valley.
