Inaugurated by the Municipality of Malo in 1994, it was born from the passion for local culture of a group of volunteers who wanted to and were able to preserve the memory of the economic activities that have characterized the industrious town for centuries. Alongside objects related to the processing of silk and clay, photos and documents contribute to reconstructing those worlds in their beginnings, developments, and in the case of silk processing, disappearances. The marks have remained imprinted in the town, characterized by old factories, and in the memory of the last silk spinners and their families.
The Museum is housed on the second floor and in the attic of Palazzo Corielli, a noble residence adjacent to the homonymous silk mill, which remained in operation until 1962. It is divided into two sections dedicated respectively to silk art (silkworm breeding and silk unwinding) and brickmaking (manipulation of clay from prehistory to today's large kilns). Very interesting is the educational model of a furnace from the 1900s with a continuous burn Hoffman oven.
