An interesting walk through the streets of the little village of Masino to discover the open air Modern Art Museum.  A place to admire art with your nose up like looking at  the rainbow or a starry sky.

Each year famous painters and sculptors add some masterpieces which will remain  on the walls of houses, school and churches.
