To date, ten locations and museum collections formally adhere to the System. Added SIBCA - the Integrated System of Cultural Heritage of the Valley and in synergy with the Library-Archival System and the Ecomuseum of Valle Trompia. The Mountain and Industry, the Museum System works for the enhancement of the cultural heritage of the territory, protecting and promoting collections and tangible and intangible heritages, constantly monitoring them in order to propose an increasingly complete offer of the historical-artistic and ethnographic heritage of the Valley.\r\nThis goal is pursued thanks to the collaboration with the 18 municipalities of the Valley (Bovegno, Bovezzo, Brione, Caino, Collio, Concesio, Irma, Gardone Val Trompia, Lodrino, Lumezzane, Marcheno, Marmentino, Nave, Pezzaze, Polaveno, Sarezzo, Tavernole sul Mella, Villa Carcina), the neighboring municipality of Ome and with various local private realities, with a view to integrating with the tourist and economic aspects of the territory.\r\nPriority remains the enhancement of the culture linked to the mining tradition of the Via del Ferro and Mines, to which 6 out of 10 museums belong, including: the S. Aloisio mine in Collio, the Pezzaze mine museum, the Il Forno di Tavernole museum, the Museum of Arms and Weaponry Tradition in Gardone Valtrompia, the I Magli Museum in Sarezzo and the Borgo del Maglio di Ome with the Maglio Averoldi, flanked by the rural culture linked to the mountains and the Via Del Bosco with the Ethnographic Museum and Casa Contadina di Lodrino, the Costanzo Caim Ethnographic Collection (set up in the Torre di Mondaro in Pezzaze) and the “C. Giancola” Ethnographic Museum in Collio.\r\nThe material assets referable to the historical-artistic-archaeological area of ​​the Via del Sacro and dell'Arte are also conspicuous, such as the ORMA Museum in Pezzaze, the Paolo VI-Contemporary Art Collection in Concesio and the Borgo del Maglio with the Pietro Malossi House Museum.
