Villa Muscas Centro della cultura contadina, Cagliari

It exhibits agricultural tools and materials, household utensils, and finely crafted artifacts. Of great interest is the Roman-era well dating between the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD and a historic wine cellar consisting of a collection of 1300 bottles. It is organized into 2 main routes.

The building housing the museum was constructed in different periods on a medieval monastic layout. The museum is arranged over two levels and is accessible through a courtyard that displays machinery from the traditional Sardinian productive world. The ground floor is divided into various rooms dedicated to equipment and objects for soil cultivation and the processing and measuring of products (olives, grapes, grains), tools related to wine production, including a wooden press of particular historical interest, and objects related to the dairy industry. Access is then gained to the cloister where there is a cistern (not visible) from the 14th century, and where three rooms face the courtyard, dedicated to winemaking and distillation and to various harnesses for working animals, tools for shoeing and branding livestock, yokes, and spurs. The first floor hosts four rooms: a permanent photographic exhibition on historical memory (1885-2000).
