A museum that embraces two buildings: With the Palazzo de Bassus-Mengotti from 1655, the Museo Poschiavino has a magnificent baroque building, while the Casa Tomé has been reflecting the agricultural traditions of the valley since 1357. At the Palazzo de Bassus-Mengotti, the art and culture of Poschiavo valley can be experienced particularly from the point of view of everyday life and the history of migration. On display are also collections of Etruscan ceramic work along with Indian ritual items and votive objects, making the centre of local history to a place of meeting between different cultures.
