Museum Walserhaus

The execution of the museum’s activities is carried out by a curator helped by a guardian; both live in the village and are supported by numerous volunteers.

In 2016, a project was launched to update and modernize the exhibition with a particular focus on upgrading the architectural heritage, the collection and the Ggurijnartitsch through an innovative method of presentation.

For this purpose, the project Ggurijnar Cheschtschi (Gurin treasure chest) was developed: a collection of didactic activities and guided tours described in a series of brochures that allow to make tangible themes around the traditions, the language, the art and the environment.

[8] Iaschi Ååna hèd eistar ggseit, fer an güata Måtzufåmm z heigin, müassmu zacha Såcha dretüa – Our grandmother used to say that a good Måtzufåmm-soup needs at least ten different ingredients.

Following the intentions of the Swiss Foundation for preservation and promotion of genetic diversity in fauna and flora, the garden wants to attract the visitors’ attention on old and rare sorts of vegetables, which also include a local May beet variety (Rååfa, Raaftschi) of Bosco/Gurin.

During the festival, there are also free village and museum guided visits, a market with local products and games for children.

Yet, it is mainly the delicious vegetable soup served with local bread and cheese which every year attracts not only the villagers, but more and more visitors from Ticino, Switzerland and even from abroad.
