Experience of archaeological didactics and museal interaction on the Palaeolithic of the Pradis Plateau (Pordenone, Italy)

Abstract

The “Museo della Grotta” was opened to the public in 2001, in the small mountain village of Pradis (Clauzetto). Since that year, the activity of the museum has been deeply bound to the scientific research carried out by the University of Ferrara on the prehistoric sites of Clusantin and Rio Secco caves. In last years, the museum and the Municipal administration launched many new cultural and educational activities such as: the “Prehistory Days”, conferences and courses for local guides. Nowadays the museum activities of cultural enhancement of the territory and scientific research represent a key attraction to the Pradis Valley, acting in this scenario as a promotion hub for the whole territory.
