Museo della civiltà contadina di Stabio

The Museo della civiltà contadina is housed in the building (built in 1856) that was the municipal school until the 1970s. Among the inhabitants of Stabio, memories abound of the hours spent in the classrooms, now exhibition spaces that host thousands of children every year.

The three-storey building overlooks Piazza Maggiore, in the heart of Stabio's historic core, and has six exhibition rooms.
