Museum of Ethnography

    The museum wants to show human beings in their natural environment and it will be a center of cultural and environmental knowledge of the area.

   Agricultural works, food production, social organization, religion, clothing and education have a place in the museum through the agricultural tools from Tierra de Campos.

    Apart from agriculture, which was the main way of living, there are representative objects of the characteristic jobs of the area: blacksmiths, stonemasons, spinners, shoemakers,vintners.

    Culture in the museum is only alive and comes to life when it makes us to think about culture nowadays.

    This contact with the own cultural roots of the area helps us to be conscious of our history as a essential element to acquire our own cultural identity
