Museum of the Asturian People, Traditional ethnographic museum in Gijón, Spain
The Museum of the Asturian People extends across 30,000 square meters, featuring three historical buildings and multiple outdoor exhibits displaying regional architecture and customs.
Founded in 1968 through collaboration between Gijón Town Hall and Chamber of Commerce, the museum began with a collection of traditional granaries from the 17th century.
The museum houses extensive collections of agricultural tools, traditional clothing, and over 200,000 photographs documenting Asturian society from 1850 to 1965.
The museum operates different schedules throughout the year, with extended hours from April to September and shorter visiting times during winter months.
The González de la Vega house from 1757 contains a specialized museum section dedicated to bagpipes from North Africa, Europe, and the Iberian Peninsula.
