The concept
The Alba Truffle Museum has its roots in the Maddalena Courtyard, in the heart of the city where the International Alba White Truffle Fair takes place.
The MUDET
530 square meters that tell the story all year round of the various facets of an extraordinary product of the earth: the naturalistic, historical, cultural and gastronomic aspects of an underground mushroom that over the years has been able to establish itself worldwide.
The museum itinerary. The MUDET is part of the building surrounding the Cortile della Maddalena, a historic city complex that overlooks the central street, Via Vittorio Emanuele.
