Description
The network focuses on museums, ecomuseums and various institutions committed to promoting education for a more conscious use of water and aims to affirm a new paradigm of development that devotes greater attention and respect to nature.
Also included in the network are the various natural and cultural heritages linked to water, as natural extensions of exhibition and educational activities in the area. Extensions that include both parks and nature reserves as well as architectures and monumental works built for their special relationship with water: villas, castles, historic gardens, fountains, nymphaeums, cisterns, aqueducts, mills, navigable waterways, hydraulic artefacts.
In Italy, the MUSE - Science Museum in Trento, the Opificio delle Acque in Bologna, the Water Museum in Venice and the Martesana Ecomuseum in Milan are part of the World Network.
