Museo de la Vida Rural, museum
The Museo de la Vida Rural is a museum in a historic building in L'Espluga de Francolí that documents rural everyday life in Catalonia. Its rooms display old farming tools, cooking equipment, furniture, and clothing used by farmers and craftspeople, along with photographs and objects that illustrate how villagers lived together.
The museum was established in 1988 to preserve the history and traditions of local rural life and later became part of a network of regional museums. The building itself has served the town for many centuries and was originally a public gathering place for residents.
The museum's name reflects its purpose of preserving rural life and traditions. The displays show how families lived together, prepared food, and organized their homes, making the everyday experience of past generations visible to visitors today.
The museum is easily reached by local transport and offers a peaceful setting for visitors interested in history and rural life. Guided visits are available throughout the year to help you better understand the exhibits.
The museum is developing a digital collection accessible online, allowing visitors to explore photographs and stories of objects from anywhere. This digital archive helps preserve the cultural memory of the countryside and makes information available to schools and researchers.
