Archeological Museum of Mugello and Val di Sieve

The Museum represents the last missinglink of the Territorial Museum System. It has an exhibition layout of different levels of interpretation, general or in depth, by way of two different guidelines for the visit: chronological-topographic or educative-thematic. On the whole, this is a singular exhibition which shows, together for the first time, the so called “Fiesolane stones”, that were all found in this area. They are elaborate sign stones in sandstone, which, when placed on the top of the tumulus were used to denote the presence of an Etruscan tomb, as well as indicating the importance of the belonging gens. 10 stele and cippi, decorated in various ways are present.

Particular attentionis dedicated to the younger visitors: a didactic room has been fitted with magnetic thematic panels, in which, on the one hand the Etruscan language “comes to life” and they can play with the letters of the alphabet and on the other, school age children are helped to fit the historical-archaeological periods represented into the right age.
