The Museum tells visitors the stories of the lives of the protagonists of emigration, framed within a historiographical framework. Individual experiences are presented to the public through original sources such as autobiographies, diaries, letters, photographs and newspapers, digitised and re-elaborated thanks to multimedia stations, immersive installations and theatrical reconstructions.

The study and research work carried out involved the collaboration of scholars and various organisations, research institutes, archives, museums and international centres, as well as museums in Italy that have been focused on migratory issues from a regional perspective for years.

The contribution of the Associations of Italian citizens abroad and international Italian communities was also essential, as they enthusiastically contributed to increasing the wealth of stories presented in the exhibition. And this is what makes the museum a constantly evolving and expanding participatory museum.
