The blog of Ostello Trento

Coming to Trento province and not stopping to see this pearl of modern and contemporary art is a pity … an integral part of MART is the Depero Futurist Art House.

The ancient Roman city of Tridentum, splendidum municipium, as the Emperor Claudius defined it in 46 AD, lives underground in the medieval district of “Sas” in the historic center of Trento.

Founded by the Romans in the mid-1st century B.C., Tridentum constituted an important strategic garrison controlling the Adige river valley, which contained the road connecting central Europe and the Mediterranean. In its original layout, it was a regular urban pattern with wide streets crossing at right angles and a wall with towers and a moat. The city was protected on the northern side by the original course of the Adige River.

The MUSE - Trento Science Museum is the city's science museum, dedicated to nature, sustainability and technology. It is located in the Le Albere district, a residential and commercial area designed by architect Renzo Piano, who also designed the museum. The Muse was opened on 27 July 2013 and replaced the former Tridentine Museum of Natural Sciences, founded in 1922.

It won the epithet Best Science Museum for families with children in Italy. Incredibly fascinating for adults and children alike, it is a must-see destination for anyone staying in Trentino.
