The Museum of Work is housed on the second floor of the Palazzo Mediceo in Seravezza, built by order of Cosimo I de' Medici to protect the iron mine. With its simple architecture, almost like a fortified villa, it was for many years the summer residence of the Medici, the Habsburg-Lorraine and other noble Tuscan families. With the Kingdom of Italy it became the seat of the Town Hall, until 1966. Today the Palace houses, in addition to the Museum, the Sirio Giannini Municipal Library, the Historical Archive and important exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. #Inaugurated in 1996, it is the result of years of field research that led to the collection of almost two thousand objects, evidence of the main and traditional activities of Historic Versilia. Territory that today includes the Municipalities of Seravezza, Stazzema, Pietrasanta and Forte dei Marmi, once administered by the Captaincy of Pietrasanta, former clave of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. Throughout the year the museum offers guided tours and educational and recreational workshops are organized for the younger ones. In the bookshop of Palazzo Mediceo visitors can find books dedicated to the museum and nice gadgets.
The museum is divided into eleven rooms, each of which is dedicated to a specific theme. In addition to the rooms intended to house tools, equipment and accessories related to the main jobs (agriculture, mining, sculpture, weaving, etc.), there is also a room where it is possible to appreciate objects, furnishings and tools of daily life at home and one dedicated to the territory.
