Info
The Museum was founded in 1984 on the basis of the ethnographic collection gathered by J. Mª Naveiras Escanlar, "Pepe el Ferreiro", who was its promoter and director until 2010. Since then, the collection has grown steadily through acquisition but, above all, through donations and deposits from private individuals.
The exhibition areas of the Museum are distributed in three main buildings that exemplify the traditional architecture of the area: Casa Rectoral, Casa del Molinero and A Casoa. The open transit areas are punctuated by smaller architectural structures and furnishings for specific purposes, including the mill, the hórreo, the panera, the cabazo and the chapel.
This museum is recognised as one of the best of its kind, with a huge collection of material that recreates the domestic spaces and activities of the peasant society of western Asturias in its more than 3,000 square metres of exhibition space.
Permanent exhibitions (among other spaces): lareira/kitchen,textile industry room,shoemaker's workshop, wine cellar,canteen,forge,lathe room,model of the mallet,soda factory,farm implements,barber's shop, tailor's shop,school,bar-shop.
