Museo Etnográfico Casas Cueva de Artenara

Description

The ethnographic museum is set in an old house, which was probably lived in around the pre-Hispanic period. The cave was acquired in 1962 by Don Santiago Aranda, who restored it in keeping with typical traditional village style. Following its acquisition by the Town Hall of Artenara, it was turned into a domestic ethnographic museum.

Its interior is equipped with typical furnishings. In its bedchambers there are iron beds, with locally crafted mattress blankets and rags, cedar and tea wood drawers, chairs and stools made from basic designs, as well as other ethnographic items that were typical of the rustic buildings of the area. Artenara's most representative trades are displayed here.

It is open every day of the year from 11: 30 a.m. to 16: 30 p.m. Admission free.
