Great War Museum of Cividale

Friuli, from the Natisone and Torre Valleys to the Tagliamento Museums and exhibitions

Set up in the historic railway station of Cividale del Friuli, the museum offers visitors an overview of the events of the Great War through reconstructed environments, relics and multimedia tools.The museum extends from the basement to the first floor of the building.

The lower level features a faithful reconstruction of a trench section, with a symbolic photograph showing a moment of truce between the Italian and Austro-Hungarian armies dominating one wall. On the ground floor, visitors can see the model of the military railway line built in the first months of the war to connect Cividale with Caporetto, together with an important collection of strictly original relics, uniforms and weapons from the armies that fought on the Italian front, accompanied by panels with photographs, maps and texts in Italian and English. On the first floor there is a room devoted to period weapons, a hall for meetings, conferences and screenings, a library with thematic books for consultation, and a multimedia room with viewers which, thanks to augmented reality, allow visitors to immerse themselves in the environment and events of these places.
