MUB - Museo della Bonifica

About

Opened to the public in 1983, the Museum, designed in 1967, is located in an area which once held a Clarisse convent. The building was expanded in 1998 using European funding, and from 2014, has been part of the San Donà Civic Museums Organization which includes the Civic Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art and the "I. Battistella" Gallery. In 2018, it was refurbished, and the central theme of the museum became Mankind and his relationship to the surrounding landscape with its amphibious nature throughout the centuries, from ancient times up to the present. The institute, thus, has the natural vocation of being an eco-museum: a multifunctional widespread museum that represents San Donà, a city born in a water immersed land where all memories, landscape, environment, stories and traditions reflect this fact.
