Museo delle Grigne, Ethnographic museum in Esino Lario, Italy.
The Museo delle Grigne displays collections of fossils, minerals, and local artifacts within two buildings of Villa Clotilde in northern Italy.
The museum originated in 1935 through the efforts of Giovanni Battista Rocca and underwent significant expansion in 1959 under Pietro Pensa's direction.
The exhibition spaces present the evolution of local life through archaeological finds, iron working tools, and documentation of traditional mountain activities.
The museum maintains wheelchair accessibility and receives an average of 500 visitors annually, operating as part of the Lecco Provincial Museum System.
The facility houses a specialized butterfly and insect collection alongside reconstructions of traditional mountain huts called casel.
