Muma - Museum of the Sea and the Shipwright Masters

The Museum of the Sea and the Shipwright Masters was created to enhance the cultural heritage related to the masters who for centuries designed, built, and repaired boats for navigation around Sardinia. Cagliari, Stintino, Alghero, Carloforte, La Maddalena, and Sant’Antioco hosted the main shipyards, where hulls were made for fishing, local traffic, and the transport of goods and minerals.

The exhibition path of MuMA, set up in the building that housed the old slaughterhouse of Sant’Antioco, is an immersive and continuously evolving experience. It tells the story of the lagoon, the shipwright masters, the lighthouses, and the beacons through images, videos, and texts.

The Museum of the Santa Gilla Lagoon transforms the historic Casa Spadaccino into a multisensory journey among brackish water, pink flamingos, and stories of fishermen and salt workers – a path designed to involve everyone in the knowledge of this place. MuLag was created to tell and preserve the Santa Gilla Lagoon, a fragile and precious place where nature, memory, and human labor have coexisted for centuries. MuLag works to protect this ecosystem and to ensure that those who visit return home feeling the responsibility — and the desire — to preserve it.

In short:

To make people fall in love with the Santa Gilla Lagoon, so that everyone becomes a guardian of its beauty
