A museum that offers

In particular, starting from the classic visit of the exhibition halls, through the possibility of participating in interactive workshops, specialized exhibitions and guided tours.

Through this, the visitor becomes a co-creator, that is, an integral part of the museum.

A museum surrounded by nature
The International Ceramic Design Museum is located in a unique natural setting. Behind it is the Sasso del Ferro, the mountain overlooking Laveno Mombello over 1,000 meters high, accessible either on foot or by cable car. In front of the museum, on the other hand, is the breathtaking panorama of Lake Maggiore, with its blinding shades of blue.
A museum that welcomes the virtual
MIDeC presents itself as a place where visitors can dynamically and interactively experience the world of ceramics and design. To this end, the website has developed a section dedicated to virtual tours. It allows visitors to explore the museum from their own homes, offering an immersive experience that is accessible to all.
A museum child of history
Lombardy has always dominated the landscape of ceramic production, thanks in part to the abundance of quality clay and artisans skilled in its processing. This has resulted in a pronounced craftsmanship transformed into industry thanks to the advent of technology. Unfortunately, a gradual disappearance of industrial reality has occurred in recent decades, but this has not prevented the municipality of Laveno Mombello from creating a space that can celebrate the glorious history of ceramics on the shores of Lake Maggiore.
