OUR TEMPORARY EXHIBITIONS
The MAV is not only a museum to visit, but also a place available to students, researchers and enthusiasts who want to learn more about and study the Aosta Valley artisan heritage. In addition to the exhibition space and its assets, the museum has a real research center on craftsmanship that promotes and spreads knowledge of the history of Aosta Valley craftsmanship: the Centre d’Etudes sur l’Artisanat de Tradition. The Centre has a thematic library with over 300 volumes on craftsmanship, a photographic and film collection, interviews and documents. It also promotes and disseminates studies and research in the sector of craftsmanship by encouraging scientific collaboration between researchers, universities and other research centers and annually publishes a bulletin with thematic articles and research.
