Asturias Bowling Museum

The museum, attached to the bowling alley, is located in a two-storey building: The ground floor presents the process of building bowling pins and balls and the preparation of the pitch. A collection of tools related to these activities is exhibited, accompanied by texts and photographs.

The upper floor shows the fourteen types of skittles played in Asturias, divided into two main groups: "derribo" and "aventado", which refer to the way in which the skittles are hit, either to knock them down or to throw them a distance with the impact of the ball.

All the modalities are accompanied by a model of a bowling alley, a set of bowling pins and real balls, an explanatory text and a set of photographs, including a series of five shots of technical gestures in the throwing of the ball in each modality.

A map shows the geographical distribution of the Asturian bowling modalities.

A space is dedicated to trophies, posters announcing festivals with bowling games or bowling competitions, players' T-shirts and the coats of arms of bowling clubs.

The visit ends with a large panel showing photographs of important figures in the world of bowling, legendary players of all types, and other people who contributed to the maintenance of this traditional game that is still played with great enthusiasm throughout the Principality.
