Museum Gherdëina, History and ethnography museum in Urtijëi, Italy
Museum Gherdëina spans two floors containing exhibits of wood carvings, geological specimens, archaeological artifacts, and natural history collections from Val Gardena.
The institution opened its doors on August 6, 1960, as part of the Union di Ladins de Gherdëina to preserve the Ladin language and cultural heritage.
The museum displays traditional wooden toys manufactured between 1750 and 1940, representing the craftsmanship skills of Val Gardena artisans through generations.
Visitors can explore exhibitions year-round except for December 24, 25, 31, and January 1, with special opening hours during winter and summer seasons.
The natural history section features a reconstructed Ichthyosaurus skeleton and 280-million-year-old plant fossils discovered in the Dolomites region.
