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.

Workshop: A Sail for Everyone
Curated by the cultural association La Pantofla

Workshop: Salty Frontier
Curated by Cooperativa Atlantide

Workshop: My Very Own Mascot
Curated by Cooperativa Atlantide
Creation of soft toys using recycled materials to represent the animals that inhabit the salt pan: a “sound-making” little bird built with colours, scissors, glue and reused materials. The aim is both to learn about salt pan wildlife and to give new life to discarded materials.
