The Museum of Agricultural History (MULSA) is arranged as a sequence of exhibition spaces designed to narrate to the public the history of agriculture, from its origins to the present day, following a chronological order and employing ethnographic, iconographic and biological materials, together with models and dioramas. The exhibition areas aim to document the evolution of agriculture, namely the history of crop cultivation and animal husbandry for productive purposes, as well as the development of the associated tools and techniques. In addition to the narrative section, the Museum includes a series of ethnographic spaces displaying numerous agricultural implements, tools for craftsman activities linked to farming, dairy equipment, and objects from rural life. These artefacts were collected mainly in Lombardy, particularly from farmhouses (cascine) in the Lodigiano are, during the 1980s, and they document Lombard agriculture in the early twentieth century. Finally, there are two monographic rooms: one dedicated to grapevines and wine, and another to land surveying and technical drawing.

​

The Museum is housed within the Visconti Castle of Sant’Angelo Lodigiano, owned by the Fondazione Conte Gian Giacomo Morando Bolognini.
