The museum is divided into a furnished room reminiscent of the farmer’s house followed by an exhibition of everyday objects including devotional paintings, pots and pans of copper, braziers etc. .; two other small rooms show objects related to winemaking and a small cellar; the next room is dedicated to the work of the earth for the production of grasses in which stands a wooden plow of the nineteenth century; the last room accommodates above all necessary tools for the processing of the vegetable gardens and for the cutting of wood.
