The museum of Prosciutto and cured meat products of Parma proposes a path through history which allows the visitor to re-construct the production process from pig to cured meat, the highly prized products of the art of the Parma masters.The Museum of Prosciutto and Cured Meat Products of Parma is set in Langhirano, the elected fatherland of Prosciutto from Parma, in the vast structure of the former cattle market.
The choice of the cattle market as seat of the museum, placed as it is in an easily accessible area of town near the centre and the main historical ham curing plants, has permitted the functional recuperation of a structure firmly tied to the economic life of this territory and at the same time its transformation into an instrument of interpretation and understanding of the food industry of today. Museum of Prosciutto and Cured Meats of Parma, Via Bocchialini, 7 Langhirano (PR).
