Museo della fotografia e mostra permanente del fischietto

The Photography Museum and the Permanent Whistle Exhibition of Caltagirone is a single exhibition space that unites two distinct yet complementary thematic paths: on the one hand, the history and evolution of photography, and on the other, the artisanal tradition of the terracotta whistle. The museum is located near the Public Garden, in a historic building formerly used as a public facility.

The Photography Museum documents the development of photographic techniques through equipment, plates, prints, and archival materials, offering an educational journey through the history of the image. The Whistle Exhibition, on the other hand, brings together works from various Italian regions, linked to the national competition and the popular tradition of the "friscalettu," a symbol of Sicilian ceramic culture and beyond.

The combination of the two sections makes the museum a place of great cultural interest, where technique, art, and tradition meet in a unique exhibition experience.
