The facade appears unusual, enriched with a completely unique decorative bas-relief on stone, so much so that these decorations have been interpreted as symbols linked to the practice of Alchemy.
The exhibition emphasizes, through the display of selected objects, concepts, knowledge and alchemical ideas that arouse the visitor’s curiosity.

The domestic spaces are populated by books, reproductions of alchemical images, stills and videos that tell the practice of Alchemy passing through the three floors of the building that symbolically represent the three phases of the alchemical work, Nigredo, Albedo and Rubedo, which serve to reach the famous philosopher’s stone.

The house presents numerous peculiarities: the fireplace is missing and therefore the walls, especially those on the ground floor, are blackened by the soot coming from the domestic hearths used, so it is said, by the ancient owner for the alchemical preparations.

The House Museum, opened thanks to the collaboration of the Alpago History Nature Association, and is one of the very rare examples still preserved of a house dedicated to this mysterious practice and hosts a small but interesting library of volumes dedicated to Alchemy to be consulted on site to learn more about this interesting subject.
