Collection history
The paleethnological collection located inside the large museum was collected by Father Aurelio Menin from the 50’s to the 70’s of the past century. It can be defined as the result of the patient research, collection and cataloguing work of the finds discovered by the friar in the valley of the river Chiampo. The intense activity of study was completed by the opening of the museum in 1972, one year before his death.
