    The MUSA - Salt Museum of Cervia is born from the passion and the desire not to disperse an important cultural heritage for and of the town. In the mid-1980s, Agostino Finchi, a former salt worker, together with a group of enthusiasts, recover the material connected with the history of the salt pan of Cervia. These include the tools, documents, and everything that could witness the historical route of the Cervia salt civilisation. With the material gathered, towards the late 1980s a permanent exhibition was set up inside the salt warehouses that bears witness to the activities of the salt workers and life in the salt pans.
    The people who run the facility are salt workers, therefore they can transmit directly their experience and cultural heritage.

    The Camillone salt pan is the open-air section of MUSA and remains the last of the artisan salt pans that amounted to 150 before the transformation.
    In the artisan salt pan, you can still breathe the climate of the manual activity with the movement and processing of salt with the wooden tools which are on display today in the museum. The salt is harvested every day in summer alternating the basins.
    Guided tours (visite guidate)and unique experiences, like that of becoming a salt worker for a day (salinari per un giorno), are carried out here.
