A three-storey building from the late 1700s, a modest house, with classic exposed granite and nothing that makes it stand out from many buildings in this Gallura where even stone has its own history.

Beyond these granite walls, the materials and objects that furnish the amazing museum have a particularity. They are animated. Form and substance, act and power of everything that has moved, which has been among the shepherds, farmers, artisans, families of this strip of land. Attempts to catalog, describe, label this little treasure are completely in vain. To understand you have to breathe, look, listen.

The first ethnographic museum in Gallura, the north-eastern region of Sardinia, is set on the most faithful reconstruction of the typical environments of the Gallura civilization. The rooms have been reconstructed respecting the structure and balance of the old Gallura houses, with care and attention to detail that makes them alive, lived in. A reconstructive fidelity that amazed, at times moved, those older visitors that those environments had really experienced and known, finds that mean works, actions, words, emotions.

FEMINE HAMMER AGABBADORA

Inside the Galluras Museum, you can see the only example of the Martello della Femina Agabbadòra found in an old farmhouse in demolition near Luras, the town that houses the Museum.
