The museum recovers life from within the homes of Vilariño de Conso. Thus a room from the past century or a kitchen is recreated integrating numerous real elements like Welshdressers or a hearth. Another facet developed is related to the world of labour. In this section, the utensils used in the different trades acquire special prominence; we also come across traditional tools like a carpenter’s bench, lathes or saws. Cattle farming and herding take on a new meaning via the display of garments worn to provide protection from the cold, made from wool or linen of the area.
