The Sant'Angelo Muxaro Gypsum Museum is a museum spread across the geological landscape. It is not concentrated in a single building, but extends throughout the territory, highlighting quarries, outcrops, and trails linked to the presence of gypsum and its historical extraction.
The project explores the relationship between the local community and natural resources, illustrating traditional extraction techniques and the evolution of the karst landscape. In this way, the museum becomes a tool for understanding the territory, combining geology, labor history, and cultural identity.
