The mission of the Pescia Paper Museum is to preserve and pass on six centuries of tradition, spreading the culture and knowledge of one of the oldest communication tools: paper. The Museum is located in the eighteenth-century paper mill. Le Carte is one of the most important monuments of industrial archeology present in Italy and, both for its state of conservation and for the presence of all the eighteenth-nineteenth century production plants, it can be considered one of the most significant examples of successful conservation at an international level. The building has the typical structure of the so-called "Genoese-Tuscan" paper model: the ground floor, with cross vaults, dedicated to the preparation of the mixture and the creation of the sheets of paper; the first floor occupied by the "workshop" for the finishing phases and the homes of the paper makers' families; the top floor, with large windows equipped with adjustable closures, the so-called "spreader", reserved for drying sheets.

The Museum houses around 7,000 pieces which include paper forms, filigree waxes, punches, metal sheets and stamps. And 700 linear meters of documents from the historical corporate archive of the Antiche Cartiere Magnani of Pescia is one of the most important in Italy, both in terms of size and quantity and quality of the papers preserved. It is a complete archive, with documents ranging from the 18th century to the early 21st century, which allows us to reconstruct the economic activity of the paper mill and, through it, the links with a large part of the Italian industry and many foreign operators and states .
