Ethnographic Museum of La Llechería

This Museum, located in the council of Morcín - which forms part of the protected landscape of the Sierra del Aramo -, is in a typical environment of the Central Asturian Mountains, of great faunistic and scenic importance and with an important livestock population. The environment is, therefore, eminently rural and cheese-making, without forgetting the weight of the mining industry, another of the strong points of the area since ancient times.

Precisely, the Museum is a perfect symbiosis between the two aspects of rural life in Asturias - mine and mountain - and that is why it has been built in a unique element of industrial archaeology in terms of location, situation and size: the coal loading bay of the historic Monsacro shaft, with the museum contents being exhibited in the old mine chutes.
