Cervia
Let's play at the museum!
The activities of the “Let’s Play at the Museum” project continue at MUSA – Museo del Sale di Cervia, a programme of initiatives designed for children as well as adults.
Through these workshops, MUSA – the Salt Museum of Cervia highlights the city’s deep connection with the sea, which not only provides the raw material for salt production but was also the main trade route for the precious “white gold.”
All workshops are free of charge and included in the museum admission ticket.
