The exhibition, situated in a fortified house dating back to the 16th century, proposes a journey through the ancient Carnival who animates the villages of the Gran San Bernardo valley.
Its realisation has been possible thanks to:
• photographs of the exhibition “Quand l’ours se réveille… - Le Carnaval en Vallée d’Aoste de 1900 à 1970”, property of BREL;
• material coming from the AVAS archives
• works realized inside the “Project Carnaval”, by the schools belonging to the Grand Combin scholastic institution
• european project “Grand-Saint-Bernard 360°”
• material borrowed or donated by private citizens
Note - this information is not directly connected to the Cammino Balteo path but it is part of the Aosta Valley tourist offer.
