From community exhibition to participatory museum
"Sa Domu de is Ainas" began as an exhibition in 1982. The collection of objects related to women's work, both agricultural and pastoral, was created by a group of local girls at a time of intense participation in the community's democratic life. In transforming the collection into a museum in 2000, the curators sought to inherit the original mission: to highlight the material testimonies of a society long gone, but one that new generations must not forget.
A journey through thematic sections and traditions
The exhibition is divided into thematic sections, allowing visitors to discover the world of rural culture expressed by local communities over the centuries . The exhibition features work tools, fabrics, and everyday objects, enriched by period photographs, illustrations, testimonies, and insights. The Clothing Room displays sartorial reproductions of Armungia's festive men's and women's clothing from the last two decades of the 19th century. The Women's Work Room is dedicated to the typically female activities of weaving and bread-making . The Iron Craft Room documents the work of the blacksmith, while the Territory Room illustrates goat farming , hunting , and fishing . Finally, the Agriculture Room features a large calendar of agricultural work , displaying objects and indicating the main phases of land cultivation for the various types of crops.
