Hat Museum
A Museum opened in 1991 and reorganised in 2014 in the new premises in Piazza Roma is dedicated to the hat: all the stages of straw processing are illustrated along the museum itinerary, from harvesting to selection, from weaving to stitching, up to the decoration and sale of the hat. Inside the museum there is also a special section entitled ‘Marche, tanto di cappello’ (Marche, a lot of hats), an original project that sees some of the excellences of the Marche region reinterpret the hat, giving life to spectacular productions: glass, paper, leather, ceramics, stone, food, music, wood, metal and fabric are the raw materials reworked by the skilful hands of master craftsmen and the creativity of designers. Hat Museum open by appointment.
