Museum of Rural Culture 'C'era una volta' - Montese

Located in Montese, a short drive from the main Cimone ski resorts, this charming museum ('Once Upon a Time') offers a fascinating glimpse into the rural life and traditions of the Apennines. It houses a vast collection of tools, artifacts, and photographs illustrating the agricultural and artisanal heritage of the region from the 19th and early 20th centuries. The museum provides an educational and cultural counterpoint to the outdoor activities. Entrance fees are typically around €5, and it is generally open on weekends and by appointment during the week, especially in summer. It offers a unique cultural immersion for visitors of all ages.
