WHY VISIT IT
This is not a museum where boredom can creep in. Instead, it offers a fascinating and engaging journey back in time, step by step, to discover everyday life of the past.
For children it is an exciting discovery, while for adults it is a nostalgic return to the traditions of their grandparents’ time.

THE MUSEUM
The moving settings and characters were created by Faliero Lepri, known as “Leprino,” who lovingly recreated the village of his childhood with scenes of daily life and traditional work in Sant’Agata, in the Mugello area, during the 1920s.
Each figure, about 70 cm tall, is connected through an intricate system of electric wires that allows them to move in perfect harmony with their activities.
When the lights go on and the museum opens, the village of long ago magically comes back to life.
