Museo Didattico Un giorno da florista

The Museo Didattico “Un giorno da florista” was developed in Palazzo Cappelli in Accumoli as an educational installation about botanical fieldwork. Its four-part sequence introduced plant collection, herbarium preparation, species identification and microscopic observation.

Why it matters

The museum's educational design presented botanical science as a method, connecting the flora of the Gran Sasso e Monti della Laga area with school-based environmental education. Accumoli, in the province of Rieti, placed this project on the Lazio side of the park's territory.

What to notice

The installation was organised around four stages: collecting plants, preparing herbarium specimens, identifying species and observing specimens under a microscope. A digital identification tool was developed to help users recognise trees and shrubs of the park.

Context and history

The educational installation occupied Palazzo Cappelli in Accumoli's historic centre. The municipality was identified as a partner in the museum's development. The project formed part of the park's botanical interpretation and school-education programme, alongside other institutions concerned with the region's flora.
