Description

The bourgeois house of Pou, which formerly housed the Town Hall, was converted into a museum in 1979. The current museographic project is presented after a laborious rehabilitation of the building and the change of the classical conception of museography, in collaboration with the Valencian Museum of Ethnology, reopening in 2015. The Consellería de Educación, Investigación, Cultura y Deporte has recognized it as a permanent museographic collection for the extensive dissemination of the cultural heritage of the municipality that it carries out.

This more modern approach leads us to enjoy a cozy space for the dissemination of cultural heritage with a more current formulation that enhances reflection and participation through a solid ethnographic discourse, explaining the life trajectory of its inhabitants, who have provided testimonies, objects and photographs to build the new space. Memories and intimate experiences that become common heritage.

The museum presents the most important socio-cultural milestones, in a journey through the life and social cycle of Llosa de Ranes, which highlights the importance of the neighborhood of Paris, the uniqueness of the dance of the vetlatori, the village fountains or the chapel of Santa Anna and its pilgrimage.

The painting collection is composed of 38 paintings with religious themes and still lifes. Some of the paintings are pictures that used to decorate the walls of the houses and other works are by local artists or from the region.

A section of the collection is devoted to prehistoric pottery, such as a dozen handmade bowls, dating from the Early Bronze Age (1800-1400 BC), from the Mes de Menente site (Alcoy), as well as a Late Roman jar and a vase from the Iberian period (III-II BC). And in the section of urban and architectural elements are exhibited elements such as the medieval capital and a wind rose from the chapel of Santa Anna.
