Museum of Contemporary Art SottoSale in Petralia Soprana
The Museum of Contemporary Art Sottosale di Petralia Soprana is made up of more than 80 km of galleries. The very pure rock salt deposit was formed six million years ago due to a series of rare geological events and the drying up of the Mediterranean Sea and houses the MACSS, Museum of Contemporary Art Under Salt, inside it, thanks to the concession of the Italkali Society. The museum exhibits thirty rock salt sculptures, the result of 5 biennials, and represents a unique case of a museum of contemporary art in an active mine. A suggestive visit that in about an hour allows you to discover the geological history of Sicily enriched by contemporary artistic testimonies.
