Museo della Cartapesta

Reviewed By cordyroy - Naples, United States

This small and very interesting museum is in the Castello Carlo V. The video explaining the entire process along with the displays give you a real feel for the artistry and skill involved. Has both historic and contemporary examples of the art. Makes a good starting place before you go to the churches in Lecce so you can get an idea of what you are seeing.
