The Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities has declared the collection of cultural interest for being the result of a collecting activity developed over fifty years and such as to constitute one of the most significant collections in Italy for 20th century art. There are some masterpieces by authors such as Savinio, Garbari, Depero, Guttuso and some significant groups that are essential for the study of de Pisis, Sironi, De Chirico, Semeghini, Tomea, Tosi, Campigli.</p><p> The Museum is housed in the building called Ciasa de ra Regoles, in the center of Cortina d&#39;Ampezzo, along the famous Corso Italia near the Parish Church.</p><p><br></p> Paleontological Museum<p> The <a href="https://musei.regole.it/Zardini/index.php">&quot;Rinaldo Zardini&quot; Paleontological Museum</a> was inaugurated in August 1975 and its showcases contain millions of years of history of life on earth: marine creatures which, petrified by time, testify to the geological and morphological evolution of this territory. It presents a precious collection of Triassic fossils found in the territory of Cortina d&#39;Ampezzo, one of the largest collections existing today, thanks to the precious work of <strong>Rinaldo Zardini</strong> . Megalodons, shells of marine invertebrates, corals, sponges and fossils of countless animals are concrete evidence of a distant era in which an immense expanse of sea water extended across the territory of Cortina.</p><p> The Museum is located at the Alexander Girardi Hall Cultural Center, in via Marangoi 1 - loc. Pontechiesa in Cortina d&#39;Ampezzo.</p><p><br></p> Ethnographic Museum<p> The <a href="https://musei.regole.it/Etno/index.php">&quot;Regole d&#39;Ampezzo&quot; Ethnographic Museum</a> focuses on the <strong>Regole d&#39;Ampezzo</strong> , the centuries-old collective property of the Cortina d&#39;Ampezzo valley. Through objects and images the museum documents some important aspects of the culture of the Ampezzo community: the traditional heritage, the ways of managing the woods and pastures, the centuries-old relationship between men and the territory. During the exhibition itinerary emerges how behind a landscape of woods and pastures, which everyone admires, there are centuries-old choices that past generations have made, how collective ownership has in the past constituted the essential source of the means of survival of the Ampezzo community and how the institution, still recognized, is still valid and operational today.</p><p> The Museum is located in the building of the former Regole d&#39;Ampezzo sawmill at the Alexander Girardi Hall Cultural Center in Pontechiesa in Cortina d&#39;Ampezzo.</p>
