Permanent exhibition “The Mad Hatter”

The exhibition Il cappellaio pazzo (The Mad Hatter), conceived by Giuliano De Minicis, owes its name to the character of the same name in Alice in Wonderland, a symbolic character representing the desire hidden within each of us to free ourselves from the constraints and limitations of time in order to express ourselves as our imagination dictates. Visiting the exhibition is like entering a wonderland, timeless like any work of art; an original and unique space showcasing the skills and creativity of those who have always dedicated their energies to creating hats, objects designed and crafted with absolute and free creativity, specially made from a wide variety of materials to showcase the imagination, creativity and skills of the master hatmakers of Montappone. There are 25 hats on display at this institute, inspired by the highest expressions of Italian culture: music, cinema, the local area, literature and food and wine. Each hat is a unique, entirely handmade work of art.
