Housed in a 13th-century paper mill on the Valle dei Mulini stream, this small museum traces Amalfi's centuries-old paper-making heritage. Working wooden machinery demonstrates the process from raw cotton rags to finished handmade sheets. Amalfi paper was prized across medieval Europe and is still produced locally. The mill building itself — with its water channels and stone vats — is as interesting as the displays.
