The
museum is located in a spacious, traditional 18th century
manor house.
The building is owned by the Centro di Cultura
Popolare U.N.L.A., which purchased in it 1959. The Museum
was set up in this building in 1976 by the Centro UNLA itself.
The building has 23 rooms, 13 of them on the ground floor
and 10 on the first floor.
At present the Museum occupies
11 of these rooms on two floors. There is also a large hall,
2000 m2, built (1966) in the vicinity and used for public
theater and cinema as well as for educational initiatives
organized by the museum management. Easily reachable and
surrounded by ample parking space, the building complex of
the U.N.L.A. Center is located in the heart of the city.
Over two thousand tools of work and objects of daily use
from the past, coming exclusively from Lussurgesi families,
collected and donated in the last twenty years and rationally
arranged on display in the eleven rooms of the Museum, constitute
a body of documentation of significant educational and scientific
interest, testifying directly and concretely (and thus with
great educational impact) to even the most obscure existential
events that have marked, in the distant past, both the harsh
struggle for survival confronted each day by the working
classes of the Santu Lussurgiu community and the enlightened
commitment by the upper classes of the same community to
maintaining steady contact with the Italian continent and
with foreign countries, with the aim of learning new technologies
pertinent to agricultural and pasturage and lessening the
physical fatigue of manual workers. |
