'ndrangheta museum, Specialized museum in Reggio Calabria, Italy.
The museum occupies space within a confiscated private residence in Reggio Calabria and documents organized crime and its impact across multiple exhibition areas. The collections include archives, artifacts, and educational materials that examine the subject from various perspectives.
The institution was founded in 2009 as a result of cooperation between regional authorities, universities, and the local prefecture. This project transformed a seized property into a place for public education and awareness.
The museum examines how organized crime shaped daily life in southern Italy and affected families and communities over time. Visitors can see how these structures became deeply rooted in local society for generations.
The building sits on Via Cava Aloi and includes a library, parking area, and bookstore for visitors. Guided tours are available to help guests better understand the exhibitions and materials on display.
The building itself was once owned by criminals and was seized before being converted into an educational center. This transformation makes the structure itself a powerful symbol of reclamation and resistance to organized crime.
