Walking with the Museum

A project to grow alongside the museum

Now in its third consecutive year in 2026, Walking with the Museum is a summer initiative organized by the Gruppo Giovani di Fiavè APS in partnership with the Fiavè Pile Dwelling Museum and the Superintendency for Cultural Heritage of the Autonomous Province of Trento. Aimed primarily at children and families, the project turns the discovery of local heritage into a journey of play and participation, where every young visitor eventually becomes a small ambassador for the history of Fiavè.

How it works

The format centers on workshops and hands-on experiences: practical activities where participants create small objects or products to share, learning while having fun. Rather than being concentrated in a single weekend, the project is spread throughout the summer and tied to the area's main events, allowing culture and tradition to blend with the town's festive atmosphere in an informal and convivial setting.

The Fiavè pile dwellings, a UNESCO Heritage site

The heart of the initiative is the archaeological complex of Fiavè, in the municipality of the same name in the Province of Trento, within the Trentino-Alto Adige region. The Fiavè pile dwellings are part of the prehistoric pile dwellings around the Alps, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2011. The Pile Dwelling Museum houses approximately 300 wooden objects—a collection unique in Europe—while the nearby Parco Archeo Natura reconstructs a Bronze Age village across 12,000 square meters, immersed in the atmosphere of the UNESCO Alpi Ledrensi and Judicaria Biosphere Reserve.

The highlight: an aperitif among the pile dwellings

The most evocative event is the aperitif at Parco Archeo Natura: an experience amidst the reconstructions of ancient prehistoric homes, featuring local food tastings, music, and the sunset atmosphere of the mountains. It is a unique way to experience archaeology, suitable for both adults and children.

An event that combines education, nature, and tradition, perfect for a family vacation in western Trentino, nestled between the Chiese Valley, the Giudicarie, and Garda Trentino.
