Ruttar Ethnographic Collection

The collection gathers objects and testimonies about the customs and traditions of rural society in the Natisone Valleys at the beginning of the 1900s.

The Ruttar Ethnographic Collection is a precious collection of decorative household goods of every kind, representing the rural Natisone Valley society's habits and customs at the beginning of the century.

A large number of tools and instruments document the work of the land, animal breeding and the running of the home. Instruments used in haymaking, deforestation, animal breeding, butter and cheese production, and carpentry are on show.
There are also photographs, pork-butcher's tools, sacred images, sidearms, keys, suitcases, shipping documents, objects linked to mine working and to emigration in its various forms.

The Ruttar Ethnographic Collection also includes a reconstruction of an early 20th century bedroom with sacred ornaments and small statues, evidence of this area's religiousness, as well as wooden masks which are still used during the Carnival period.
