Museums

The Moto Guzzi Museum is located in Mandello del Lario, on the Lecco branch of Lake Como, in the heart of the historic factory where the legend of the Eagle was born back in 1921.

A historical, technical, and cultural heritage, the Moto Guzzi Museum houses an extensive collection of over 150 exhibits, including production motorcycles, racing bikes, experimental prototypes, and engines. These are displayed in a chronological journey that bears witness to the glorious history of an enduring Italian and global icon.

The Ethnographic and Naturalistic Museum of Val Sanagra,was created with the aim of establishing a "natural historical memory" of the area and serving as a reference point for the Val Sanagra Park and Ecomuseum. Hence, "Museum, Park, and Ecomuseum together offer a comprehensive view of the territory."

Visitors to the Museum can admire fossils, dioramas and taxidermy animals, lyophilized mushrooms, herbariums, musical instruments from the historic band, a new interactive section dedicated to the former Menaggio-Porlezza Railway, and ethnographic rooms.

Exhibitions, events, concerts, theater and dance festivals, cultural initiatives, and a variety of activities for young people and families have been taking place directly on Lake Lugano for several years. This is LAC Lugano Arte e Cultura, a center dedicated to visual arts, music, and performing arts.

Within its modern architectural structure is the MASI - Museo d'arte della Svizzera italiana, born from the merger of the Cantonal Art Museum and the Lugano Art Museum.

Located on the Lugano lakeside in the historic Villa Malpensata, the MUSEC offers a rich program of exhibitions and events dedicated to ethnic and oriental arts, photography, and modern and contemporary art. On the ground floor, the Spazio Maraini is entirely dedicated to historical and contemporary photography. The first and second floors house the Spazio Mostre, which hosts major exhibitions. On the third floor, the Spazio Cielo allows visitors to discover new collections or contemporary artists.
