Soils on display. CRISP to realize the first Soil Museum in Italy
On April 22, 2016, in Pertosa (SA), within the compound … the first permanent Soil Museum in Italy was inaugurated, created by the MIDA Foundation – Integrated Museums of the Environment.
A unique exhibition on soil, 1,500 sqm of covered exhibition space and connected paths outside the museum.
The heart of the Museum is the Pedon Hall created by the CRISP Research Center. The narrative starts from 4 types of soil representative of some of the most important landscapes and ecosystems of Campania. It presents four pedons: soils taken in the field and impregnated with paints that act as true open volumes to tell details, processes, and functions through their stratification and the multimedia products that accompany them.
