MILE Museum showcases leather's sustainable evolution
The MILE - Museum of Interactive Leather Experience, Italy’s first interactive museum dedicated to leather processing, is set to open in 2025 in the heart of the Veneto Leather District. The museum will showcase the historical and technological evolution of the leather industry in the Chiampo Valley, with a strong emphasis on sustainability and innovation.

A collaboration between the Veneto Leather District and Acque del Chiampo Società Benefit, MILE Museum has secured approximately €120,000 in regional funding from the PR Veneto FESR 2021-2027 programme. It also benefits from the support of leading companies in the leather sector, including Gruppo Mastrotto, GSC Group, Pasubio, and OSMO HTF, who are participating as "Founders" and have been instrumental in realising the museum's vision.

The museum will feature immersive, interactive exhibits using advanced technologies such as video mapping to engage visitors in the leather industry’s rich history, creative potential, and sustainability efforts. Designed to cater to students, local residents, international visitors, and industry professionals, MILE Museum aims to provide both educational and experiential value.

Following its opening in 2025, the museum plans to expand with educational programmes, temporary exhibitions, and partnerships with international leather museums.
