The promotion of the Museum is entrusted to the Friends of the Museum in Lomellina (A.M.LOM.), a non-profit organization, established in 2005, which organizes events and manages the visits of individuals and groups. Among the various initiatives, the Association publishes the "Lomellina Notebooks", a series of books that represent the territory, from its historic sites to its rural activity, from the life of the past to its new identity, from the condition of young people to their future study and work perspectives.
