Museo del Paesaggio landscape museum

In Castelnuovo Berardenga, in a 19th-century building originally used as a slaughterhouse, the Museo del Paesaggio landscape museum was reopened with a completely new look in 2020.

The museum describes the economic and anthropic aspects of the region's landscape through everyday objects, such as a window, a table, a cupboard, binoculars, which become interactive multimedia applications.

The visit is complemented by a series of mobile devices that can be used to explore the relationship between landscape, art,architecture and literature, as well as an olfactory station, a didactic section and a space where local wines can be tasted with a view to knowledge and promotion of the territory. The visit is completed by the consultation area dedicated to the Archive of Memory, which collects testimonies and documents on the history and development of the Chianti landscape, and by a large space on the first floor for temporary exhibitions.
