Sicilian Ethnographic Museum Giuseppe Pitrè
Sicilian Ethnographic Museum Giuseppe Pitrè, Ethnographic museum in central Palermo, Italy.
The museum operates in two locations: a former guesthouse in La Favorita Park and a historic building in the Albergaria quarter of Palermo.
Founded by scholar Giuseppe Pitrè in 1909, the museum underwent a major reorganization in 1935 under Giuseppe Cocchiara to align with its founder's scientific vision.
The collection includes 4,000 objects representing Sicilian traditions, from costumes and ceramics to pastoral art and tools used in hunting, fishing, and agriculture.
Visitors can explore the museum from Tuesday to Sunday, with some areas currently closed for restoration work while maintaining access to main exhibition spaces.
The museum features a reconstructed Bourbon kitchen and displays traditional men's attire, including goat skin jackets and breeches representing agricultural heritage.
