Museo Mine
Mine – “Mines” is the name of a suggestive museum complex, in the abandoned village of Castelnuovo of the Sabbioni, which documents the history of Cavriglia: a village that has been strictly connected for almost two centuries to the lignite mines exploitation.
The museum shows the events, linked to the mine, that have deeply marked this territory. The village was the scene of a terrible Nazifascist massacre. At the beginning of the street, a shrine recalls the 74 civilian victims of the massacre perpetrated by the Nazis on July 4, 1944. Some houses in ruins surround the road that leads to the upper part of the town which includes some recently recovered buildings that have been transformed into “museum spaces”: the former church of San Donato, used as a multifunctional space, the exhibition center, and a building dating back to 1925 used as a center of documentation and space for educational activities. The common logic that pervades these spaces is strongly aimed at the involvement of the visitor for a thorough knowledge of preserved cultural heritage.
The MINE museum regularly carries out educational activities, campuses and days dedicated to activities for children and families; it also has a documentation centre in which paper and digital materials that tell the story of this land are preserved. The catalogues are available online in the museum website.
