INDUSTRIANA is a community of European industrial and technical heritage sites and museums and their visitors, aiming to map them on a European platform, to promote them, linking them and establishing contacts between one another

 

See more: http://industriana.eu

We are now establishing an inventory of historical sites, museums and collections, traditional enterprises, but also of intangible heritage (as places where the traditional now how and knowledge is kept alive and places where the tradition is passed on to future generations) linked to the topics of the project (fermented drinks, clay processing industries, traditional textile crafts).

A selection of the aforementioned will be awarded a free European industrial and technical heritage label called “Industriana”.

If you want to obtain the label for your site, your museum or your heritage initiative:  fill it in and return it by October 2016.
