A journey through 20th century arts and crafts

The Museum of Popular Arts and Traditions in Teggiano is housed in a municipal building near the Church of Santa Barbara.

It collects objects that testify popular arts and traditions between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, documenting everyday life, work and popular religiosity in the period before industrialisation.

The collections, enriched by donations from Teggiano families, gather objects related to common use, traditions and old trades such as that of the farmer, the spinner, the carpenter and the blacksmith.

The photographic collection in the museum is interesting: several photographic plates depicting the historical centre, customs and traditions of Teggiano between the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the following century.

  • The museum was established in 1986 in an old farmhouse and collects objects and working tools that illustrate the daily life not only of the farmer, but also of the craftsman. It houses looms, spinning wheels, ploughs and tools to perform all the functions required by farming life.
  • The small museum of Teggiano is a treasure chest of finds, kept alive in their original function, from the ancient loom for weaving cloth, still in functioning and with the cloth started, to the gromola for hemp, to the unravelling machines, spinning wheels, ploughs for oxen and horses, oil lamps, tools for mowing, reaping, threshing, sifting and for working wood.
  • The collection is completed by objects, music, costumes and, above all, documentation of work cycles that still exist today, such as, for example, the processing of milk, the production of bread, wine and oil, and the cultivation of flax and hemp.
