Set in the Belluno Prealps, in the Pian de le Femene area, stands the MuRes, the Resistance museum. Next to the building is a monument depicting a partisan supported by a woman, symbolizing the role of the civilian population in the partisan struggle.
The museum was established in 1994 by the will of the ANPI of Belluno and Treviso and is named after Agostino Piol. Between 2018 and 2025, it was renovated by volunteers from the “La Spasema” and “Divisione Nino Nannetti” sections, who manage it.
The MuRes develops over two levels: the ground floor dedicated to conviviality and the upper floor to the exhibition path. Museum curator Elisa Bellato rethought the setup in an interactive key, with monitors featuring scholars' talks and interviews with survivors and a touch screen to consult the profiles of the partisans.
The exhibition holds historical relics, including the original keys from Operation Baldenich, a piece of parachute from the Allied drops, and an original two-way radio used by the partisans.
The museum organizes commemorative events, such as the “anti-fascist pasta” on the Sunday closest to July 25 and the official ceremony on the first Sunday after Ferragosto in memory of the Mazzini and Tollot brigades.
It is open on weekends from June to September, without fixed hours, according to the availability of volunteers. Visits by appointment are also possible during the week by contacting the two ANPI sections.
The MuRes represents a reference point for deepening the history of the Second World War and the Resistance in the Belluno and Treviso areas.
