Bormio - MUSEUMS
IntroductionThere are many museums and historical, artistic and natural sites of interest spread across this region; all of which recount a piece of Valtellina’s civilization. Besides offering an environmental and natural heritage of incomparable beauty, Valtellina also offers a huge amount of cultural heritage and museums that help to relive the main historical events, customs, costumes and traditions of this mountainous land. The collections are rich and include various subjects: they range from traditional civic and historical museums that house collections of art and traces of past civilizations, to interesting ethnographic museums which contain the secrets of this rural civilization, its craft workshops and interesting natural history collections, to the uniqueness of original small museums, such as the Picapreda museum in Novata Mezzola on the quarrying of granite, the museum for the woodcutting industry in Talamona or the historical Fire Museum in Mese, Valchiavenna, which illustrates the evolution of the technical equipment used for fire fighting and the emergency services. Visiting a museum is always an opportunity to understand the region and get closer to the people of Valtellina.

Museums in Bormio
One of the best things to do in Venice is to take some time wandering along the canals off the main tourist track. Venice has many fine attractions and museums. Here are some of the top things to see in Venice:
|
Civic Museum, Since 1962 Palazzo De Simoni (seventeenth century), within the historic centre of Bormio has housed the Civic Museum. Fourteen rooms, some of which decorated with baroque stuccatures and frescos, house the objects divided into two sections, art-historical and ethnographic. It is a collection of around 3,000 objects that documents the culture, art and crafts, work, folklore and the religious life of the Bormio people. A carpenter’s and cobbler’s workshops are displayed in a period reconstruction. A small cellar houses equipment used in the different phases of processing milk, whilst a spacious room holds the equipment used for farming and milling grains. A large coach that until 1915 was in service along the mountain pass can be found in the museum along with carts, gigs and sleighs. The collection of old skis used for various Nordic skiing disciplines, alpine and ski-jumping, are not to be forgotten, next to skis, snow-shoes and ice-skates. The museum also has an interesting collection of spinning-wheels, wire-brushes, wool-winders and spindles for the manufacturing of wool and linen as well as a big loom, which demonstrate the importance of the textile industry for women in the area. The holiness and devotion of the Bormio people is also evident in the collections of over 100 ex-votive tablets in a simple popular style, from the Sanctuary of SS. Crocefisso di Combo in Bormio. A further room houses relics and military artefacts from the war of independence, and most of all from the First World War. The art section has portraits, paintings, furniture, frescos, screens, altar-pieces, crosses and commodes, evidence of the religiousness of the local culture. Opening hours Winter season 2009/10 From 8th January to 24th April: everyday 03.00pm-07.00pm Closed on Sundays Easter period: 9th, 10th, 11th, 13th April 10.00am-12.30pm/03.00pm-07.00pm |

Mineral & Natural Museum, Whoever wants to understand the profound secrets of the earth and its minerals can find, in Via Ortigara 2, the Edy Romani collection, which is an important reference for scholars of minerals and a priceless map of treasures from the mountains and the Sondrio province. In the museum, which opened its doors in 1972, you can find a collection of minerals and crystals gathered not only in Valtellina, but also from the rest of the world, thanks to the passion of a man called Romani for ‘flowers of rock’, its definition of minerals. Besides the collection there are detailed reconstructions of natural settings and a laboratory with a stone cutter.
Opening hours Winter season 2009/10 Everyday: 9.00-12.30 and 03.00pm-07.00pm Booking required for groups (ask your local Rep or Italy Europe Tours) Admission: Adults: €2,00 Children up to 14 years: €1,50 |

The flowering in the May to June months delivers spectacular colours and aromas. Closed in winter |
