Nestled in the woods of Val di Non, just a short walk from Lake Coredo, the Wood Museum tells the story of a material that has shaped mountain life, homes, and traditions.
The museum is housed inside the historic Venetian Sawmill of Coredo, one of the village’s most iconic buildings, already present on cadastral maps as early as 1859. Today, it has been brought back to life as an exhibition and educational space, thanks to a project that blends memory, landscape, and innovation.
Here, the wood cycle comes to life and can be observed up close: tools, objects, and stories reveal the work of lumberjacks, carpenters, joiners, and cartwrights. An immersive experience guides visitors through traditional crafts and the natural landscape that made them possible.
Around the sawmill, a system of trails follows the natural contours of the land, connecting the museum’s spaces to the nearby lake. Along the path, visitors will find woodland passages, stone steps, and a portico leading to a small amphitheatre. Trees have been preserved wherever possible, and every element has been designed to harmonize with nature.
At the entrance, a wooden pavilion built with local materials introduces the visitor to the museum route. It defines two distinct areas: a courtyard for exhibitions and workshops, and a scenic zone hosting a permanent outdoor exhibition. Here, wood becomes a tactile experience, inviting visitors to observe, listen, and touch.
