Arts and museums

.

Of particular interest and worth seeing are the museums that witness the history and culture ofthe Civetta ski area and of the green surrounding valleys. The Civic Museum in Selva di Cadore boasts the remains of a Mesolithic hunter and its weapons made of deer bones and animal skins. Some years ago the skeleton was found beneath the “Lastoni di Formin” (the Formin Stones) in Mondeval, at the feet of Mount Pelmo . Another interesting spot that reminds of the history and trade of the Val di Zoldo is the “Casa del Capitanato” (the Captain’s House) in Forno di Zoldo, featuring a wide exhibition of nails. Until 300 years ago the Zoldo economy was based on ironworking and the manufacture of iron items. The Zoldo craftsmen provided the Republic of Venice with the necessary nails to build gondolas and trade ships. In addition to the Nail Museum, the Ethonografic Museum in Goima is worth seeing.
