Museo Etnográfico Municipal
Eleven rooms in a former Capuchin convent, with pottery and rural-life collections next to the church.
Next to the church in the old town of Biar, the Municipal Ethnography Museum occupies a former Capuchin convent. Its eleven rooms keep the memory of the town's rural and artisan work.
History
The museum was set up in the disentailed Capuchin convent to gather pieces of everyday life in Biar: farming, crafts and household goods from the 19th and 20th centuries.
What to see
The pottery collections and the farming and esparto tools stand out. The convent building itself, with its cloister and rooms, is part of the route. The cloister and the staircase deserve a slow look.
Tips for your visit
- Visit first the Asunción church, wall to wall with the museum.
- As a local museum, confirm opening times before going.
