Ca’ Vendramin Reclamation Museum Site Features

The engine hall

The pumps and engines still in place. The reason to come.

The channels

The intake and discharge works outside, which make the whole hydraulic idea legible in about a minute.

The 1951 flood

The museum covers the disaster that broke this system and emptied the Polesine, which is the human half of the story.

The setting

An industrial monument standing alone in an entirely flat, empty landscape below sea level.
