Back in 2003 thanks to a project launched in collaboration between the local administration of Viggiano and the
group of schools, the first cultural core was created and later on that became the Museum of Local Traditions of
Viggiano. The three-year project was completed with the help of student projects and the materials found during
searches. After several years of managing by the local Pro-Loco, the museum was closed for a few years. Last year
the museum has been reopened and is back to life, mainly where the biggest contribution came from the new
management. The new management gave completely different image to the museum and helped the museum to
entry into regional and national tourist circuits.
