The valley museum collects and exhibits evidence of the diverse history, culture, art and social conditions of Poschiavo's past. The Poschiavino Harvest Museum was founded on 2 April 1950 by the Poschiavo section of the Pro Grigioni Italiano cultural society with the aim of raising awareness among the valley's population of its diverse cultural heritage, collecting documents and objects to be passed on to future generations and finding an ideal location for a museum. The Palazzo de Bassus-Mengotti immediately proved to be very suitable, but the difficult purchase negotiations with the various owners and the necessary restructuring dragged on until 1982.

From 1953, the ever-growing collection on the life, work and emigration of the local population found a temporary home in three rooms on the first floor of the municipal building, Casa Torre, and from 1976 in the Olgiati House, Plazola. In 1971, the simple society was transformed into a foundation under the supervision of the canton. The museum's new and definitive home in the Palazzo de Bassus-Mengotti, now restored to its former glory, was officially opened on May 18, 1985 and offers visitors a faithful reflection of times gone by. It is a comprehensive documentation of history over several centuries, but also of local personalities and events.
