Museo “Lepidoptera” di San Gavino

The territory of the Province of Middle Campidano offers a wide and varied range of museums. Visiting local museums means finding out the history, monuments, traditions, usages and customs that have been characterizing these places. These microcosms can disclose a past whose deep footsteps are revealed by the innermost, authentic soul of its lands.

In addition, a few uncommon, quite singular museums appear in the old centres to complete the cultural offer with interesting opportunities of intense discovery.
