The Wine museum
A visit to the Wine Museum, that has few rivals in the world in terms of number and quality of works on display, covers twenty rooms of exhibits in the Palazzo Graziani-Baglioni.
The narrative thread guiding the visitor among archeological finds, works of
art and technical equipment for viticulture and vinification is the mysteri-
ous fascination of the ancient Dionysian culture and the complex system of
symbolism and meanings that wine has held through 5000 years of history.
The thematic collections are veritable “museums within the museum” and
range from ceramics of the Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and contem-
porary periods, as well as collections of antique books, wafer irons, antique
engravings, to contemporary sculptures that explore the myth of Dionysus
and the occasions for enjoying wine. A section dedicated to the use of
wine in medicine explores the healthy properties of wine that were already
known in antiquity and are now confirmed by science. Multimedia stations
provide detailed didactic insights.
