DESCRIPTION:
The Museo del Bijou di Casalmaggiore was founded in 1986. Ten years later it was set up in the basement of the ex Collegio Santa Croce, a building purposely renovated that was constructed by the Padri Barnabiti around the second-half of the 18th century. The collections are here exhibited in an area of 1 square chain, divided into three sections (the exhibited objects, the archives, the technologies).
The section of the exhibited objects consists of more than 20.000 pieces produced by the industries in Casalmaggiore between the end of the 19th century and 1970. Besides the traditional kinds of costume jewellery (brooches, cufflinks, bracelets, belts, earrings, pendants) you can find powder-cases, lipstick holders, cigarettes cases, sunglasses, devotional medals and badges.
It is possible to see demonstrations of goldsmith techniques and exercises, through which pupils can create simple handmade objects with metal of scant value. The didactic program can consist of several meetings with a multidisciplinary approach.

Casalmaggiore (CR) lies on the Po river, in the middle of a traingle composed of three artistic towns: Cremona, Mantova and Parma and its few kilometres away from the important tourist centres in Sabbioneta and Colorno. Casalmaggiore is 18 kilometres far from the toll-booth in Parma (A1) and it is situated on the railway line Parma-Brescia.
