Over the years, in addition to having an important therapeutic function, the thermal baths have been an important place for locals to gather more than just the cause for the main changes in the local lifestyle, so much so that the administration founded a monitoring office whose purpose was to collect information about the mutations life in Latronico has undergone throughout the 20th century.
The museum was set up by SimbdeaLab in collaboration with Ferdinando Mirizzi, of University of Basilicata, who acted as a scientific consultant.
The Museum, which is directed by ATI "Museografia Attiva", is divided into eight sections: The return to Latronico; The piazza; Socializing in a spa; Crafts; Traditional foods; Ritual and feasts; Migration stories. There’s also an introductory part and a gallery, whose aim is to portray and endorse thermal activities and the resources present in the area.
