The museum is housed in the Ciäsa Granda, an imposing patrician house built between 1568 and 1581. In the Giacometti-Varlin room there are works by Giovanni, Augusto, Alberto and Diego Giacometti as well as by the painter Varlin (Willy Guggenheim). A section related to natural history collects various specimens of fauna of the valley. The extensive collection of minerals from the region includes over 450 pieces. The model of the pastry shop is dedicated to the Bregaglia people who emigrated abroad and became famous pastry chefs. The museum also reproduces a laveggiaio workshop (the one who works the stone - so called lavecc- on a lathe), a blacksmith-maniscal workshop and a weaving room. The atelier of Giovanni and Alberto Giacometti is also part of the museum. Temporary exhibitions are organized during the summer.
