Fruit Museum
Name
Museo Della Frutta
Description
A leap in the past in order to think about biodiversity, which is a very topical subject. The heart and centre of the Museum is an extraordinary pomological collection by Francesco Garnier Valletti, consisting of thousands of varieties of apples, pears, peaches, apricots, plums, and grapes …
The reconstruction of the analysis laboratories, of the pomological collection rooms, of the library, and of the director’s office, add value to the precious historic-scientific heritage of the Stazione di Chimica Agraria (Agricultural Chemistry Station) since 1871 till today. And everything is within the context of research applied to agriculture in Turin between nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
