The Historical Museum of the Great War 1915–1918 offers an immersive journey through objects and testimonies of daily life at the front. The collection, consisting of around a thousand artifacts, recounts the soldiers’ experience during the First World War through four thematic sections: the mess, the field hospital, leisure time, and the trench.
The heart of the collection is the donation of collector Bruno Xamin, who made available to the Municipality a wide range of original materials — utensils, equipment, medical instruments, and everyday objects — providing a vivid portrayal of the war as lived by the combatants.
Completing the museum’s offer is a specialized library with over 800 volumes dedicated to the First World War, along with a rich historical, photographic, and film archive, which forms the foundation of the Grappa Documentation Center. This is a space for study and research open to scholars, enthusiasts, and schools, featuring an educational section designed to deepen the understanding of history.
A journey through memory to understand — through objects and stories — the reality of war and the sacrifice of those who lived it.
