Amazing experience at museum!
We have seen much natural beauty on this side of the island and glimpses of the Sardinian mining history that has been left behind. Mute and silent, the crumbling building unable to share their story.
Lucky for us, we were able to have it all come to life at the museum. Make sure to schedule an appointment, we tried one day but the gate is locked. The organization is ALL volunteer run and the most passionate. Francesca gave us a private tour/class answering so many of our questions and opened ideas in my brain I’ve never previously considered. I know how mining works now! The whole evolution of techniques and equipment on display because the museum is actually a previous technical school for mining students. Now returning to the old mining sites, I can identify what equipment was used for and can imagine it as it was.
This is an affordable, fun, educational, hands on experience that I recommend completely. Visit the museum, then go see the old equipment at Nabida and monteponi after!
Thank you Francesca!
