Description
The historical and cultural
The museum, which opened on 16th of September
1988, includes exhibits objects that illustrate the local history of
Parabiago.
Previously it was divided into five areas: the entrance, the living
room, the
dining room of curiosities, the hall of the work, the secretariat where
they
could find the documents, memoirs, photographs, objects from the past
and
present of civilization Parabiago. On 31st of March 2012 was held the
reopening
and the inauguration of the museum that was closed for renovation and
reorganization of the premises by the architect Rimoldi and a team of
volunteers.
Many of the exhibits have been eliminated
because of their low historical value. The museum was divided into
three
sections: the first documented archaeological excavations, the Battle
of
Parabiago, touching the great wars and the previous centuries.The
second room
shows the life and professional development of the great carver
Giuseppe
Maggiolini through some memorably creations. In the last room, called
"curiosities", we can find small collections, individual objects,
fossils, etc.. Rimoldi, the architect, said that "the reorganization of
this space was made thinking about a predominantly educational
purposes." So
the "new museum", which illustrates the history of Parabiago, is
mainly dedicated to young people, thanks to the help of computer
science that
has made modern the exhibition space.
