Museo Guatelli, Ethnographic museum in Ozzano Taro, Italy
The Museo Guatelli is an ethnographic museum housed in a farmhouse and courtyard complex that preserves more than 60,000 objects. These items document handcrafts, work practices, and traditional production methods from past eras.
The museum was founded in 1950 based on the collection assembled by Ettore Guatelli, a dedicated collector who spent his lifetime building it. His passion was gathering everyday objects that reflect Italian rural traditions.
The collection displays everyday items used by rural families across generations, arranged to show the crafts and ways of life that shaped the community. Objects like kitchen tools, work implements, and household goods tell stories about how people lived and what mattered to them.
The museum is located at Via Nazionale 130 and all visits require guided tours through the collections. The building offers wheelchair access and exact opening hours are posted on the official website.
The objects are mounted on walls in geometric patterns, creating an artistic display of everyday items. This unconventional presentation transforms the museum into a kind of installation where form and content are equally important.
