The Polo Museale ‘La Filanda’, set up and scientifically curated in a former 19th-century industrial complex by Rosario Chimirri, brings together two related, differently dated institutions.

The Multimedia Museum of the Serre Calabresi reads and documents the nature and culture of a large central-southern area of the region with digital technology. Arranged in didactic panels and projections of large-scale still and moving images, silent and sound, from the past and present, in four large rooms it presents: geography, flora and fauna, nature trails; territory, town planning, architecture; society, work, food; dialect, traditional music, the cult of saints, festivals and rituals. 

The Museum of the Rural and Artisan Civilisation of Calabria, established in 1983 on the initiative of the Pro Loco, is divided into six sections, accompanied by captions and black and white photographs: costumes; rural life and work; typical Calabrian fibres; woodworking (sediaio, cooper, turner, carpenter); clay working; iron working. The exhibition, which received an important award in the European Museum of the Year Award in 1986, contributed to the recovery of traditional local culture. 

In support of the aforementioned museums, the following are important: the educational room with annexed services; the premises where a library will be set up with a specialised sector on museography and demoanthropological museology; a publishing series for scientific publications related to the themes.
