About the museum

The Museo laboratorio del Mortigliengo is located in the hamlet of Mino in Mezzana Mortigliengo, in the Biellese, and is one of the museum sites of the Ecomuseo del Biellese. It occupies a historic building and documents everyday life in the past, allowing visitors to try some basic processes for farm products, such as making walnut oil and apple vinegar.

The reconstructed rooms include a kitchen, a bedroom and a tavern with a teaching room. The sections dedicated to work include a walnut oil press and the processing of hemp, with a warping frame, a loom and tools for spinning and weaving.
