On Saturday 23 March, the Museum participates in the “Feast of the Walkers. Sharing the Earth” with the activity “I TESORI DEL MONTE PISANO. From playground to garden”, in the Museum Garden from 10.00 to 11.00.

The Museum, following the publication of the game-guide “The treasures of Monte Pisano II. Le piante e i funghi”, has also created a garden dedicated to the spontaneous plants of Monte Pisano, as an ideal starting point for getting to know the natural environments of Monte Pisano, and is showing it for the first time with a guided tour held by the curator.
