Museo delle palafitte di Fiavé, Archaeological history museum in Fiavé, Italy.
Museo delle palafitte di Fiavé is an archaeological museum in northern Italy displaying over 300 wooden objects from prehistoric settlements built on the lake shore. The collection features kitchen equipment, tools, vessels, and personal items recovered by archaeologists working in the water and surrounding areas.
The original finds come from pile dwelling settlements occupied between 3800 BC and the Bronze Age that stood along the lake shore. The archaeological site was first discovered during peat extraction work in the mid-1800s.
The exhibition spans three floors, presenting ancient agricultural practices, construction techniques, and daily life through multimedia displays and archaeological findings.
The museum sits in a central location and is fully accessible for visitors with disabilities, with ramps and elevators throughout. You should allow adequate time to explore the three exhibition floors at a comfortable pace and consider joining a guided tour.
The wooden finds are so well preserved by the lake's constant moisture that you can still see carvings and textures from prehistoric times. Particularly striking are ornaments made of Baltic amber, which reveal that these early people traded with distant regions.
