Museo della Bilancia, Technology museum in Campogalliano, Italy.

Museo della Bilancia occupies a late-1920s building of the former social winery in Campogalliano. It displays over 200 weighing instruments, while about 1,200 more and the library and archive are viewable on request in the ordered storeroom. The route starts at the "iconic wall", passes through the Labyrinth of Phenomena and the Gallery of Trades, then follows the first-floor Channel of History from a Roman bronze steelyard to electronic load cells.

The museum was founded in 1989 and gained status as the national documentation center for weighing instruments in 1991, reflecting the region's long manufacturing tradition that began in the 1860s. This recognition highlights how the area maintained its expertise in producing precision measurement devices across generations.

The collection features scales and weights that people used in their daily work and commerce across different eras. You can observe how craftspeople and manufacturers shaped these tools, from simple designs to ornate brass-decorated pieces meant for shop counters.

The museum occupies a late-1920s building of the former social winery in Campogalliano. About 200 instruments are on display, while the remaining roughly 1,200 objects and the library and archive holdings can be viewed on request in the ordered storeroom. In the garden next to the museum stands a working weighbridge where passers-by, even in groups, can weigh themselves.

A special section lets visitors experience what their weight would be under simulated gravity conditions on the Moon and Jupiter. This interactive station in the Labyrinth of Phenomena connects everyday weighing with cosmic physics in a hands-on way.
