MUSEO DIFFUSO - the local museum system

The"Museo Diffuso" gathers several realities present in the towns of the Mugello, the Upper Mugello and the Sieve Valley: it is divided in systems, each of which includes museum points, educational laboratories, itineraries.

The systems are four:

• The naturalistic system is coordinated by the Museum of the Historical Landscape of the Appennines which is found in the Abbey of Moscheta (Firenzuola).
• The archeological system could be enjoyed through itineraries that touch the most important archeological sites of the territory and working museums specialized in the prehistoric sector, both old and mediaeval: the Upper Mugello archaelogical museum in Palazzuolo sul Senio, the Sant' Agata centre of archaeological documentation (Scarperia), the archaelogical museum and Etruscan ruins in Frascole ( Dicomano).
