Legends, art, culture, language, folklore, food, history, customs and habits: the Val di Fassa knows how to embrace culture and fun, tradition and innovation, four things that you can find in the Ladin Museum Fassa.

Reflecting on identity and memory constitutes one of the keys to this first part of the third millennium, taken as it is between globalisation and loss of identity, local closures and fundamentalist impulses. Vigo di Fassa’s Ladin Cultural Institute, a reputable cultural institute which has been working for a quarter of a century for the evaluation of the language and culture of these ancient Dolomite people, has welcomed the discussion and has given a new exhibition home to its own collection of Alpine ethnography. The new Fassa Ladin Museum unveils its own heritage with a design which is sure to influence, created by the noted Milanese architect, Ettore Sottsass. The museum is also linked to the name of Milo Manara, an undisputed master of the illustration of feminine beauty. On display there are works chosen by the artist showing figures from Fassan mythology which have been passed down by word of mouth, like the bregostènes and vivènes, the witches and elves. The display features interactive, multimedia technology which allows you, for example, to "try your hand visually" at the various stages of an agricultural operation, "take part in" the complex rituals which used to surround Ladin weddings and "share" in the often worrying debauchery of the Fassan carnival and so on.

Opening hours: from Tuesday to Saturday 3.00 p.m. - 7.00 p.m. Closed on 1st May, from 1st to 9th June and from 1st to 30th November.
