The Ethnographic Museum has its headquarters in the Palazzo Venziano (Venetian Palace) in Malborghetto, an elegant building dating back to the seventeenth century which represents one of the most characteristic and illustrious constructions of all the Val Canale, both from an architectural and an historical point of view.
Exhibited and described in the hall dedicated to palaeontology are nearly two hundred fossils.
The fourth hall of the museum, which concerns itself with mining activities, is dedicated the caves of Raibl which have represented, for a very long span of time, the pivot of life in these valleys, both from an economic point of view and in a more general sense from an historic point of view of their history.
The fifth and the sixth halls deal with a strictly ethnographic subject matter.
Hosted on the third floor is a section dedicated to aspects of the fauna of the Millenarian Foresta di Tarvisio, and a section about the economic activities which, in the past, were tied to the presence of the forests.
From the courtyard, where a majestic lime tree of over 400 years old towers, one can access a small but evocative hall dedicated to farming in the mountains.
