Intelligent set-up to attract the interest of young people towards the knowledge of our peasant roots and pass on those values ​​which, alone, can make a Community great!

Experiencia fantástica: I find it idiotic to review negatively (1 or 2 stars) and not motivate with comment, or maybe write "interesting"! Apart from this, the museum is very rich and very interesting. A must for all those who are curious about history, customs and traditions. Nice for both tourists and locals, who are usually the first to forget about their past. Go there once instead of going to the mall: everything to learn. Free admission, but 10 euros would be worth it all.

Experiencia fantástica: Very well organized and cared for museum. The location is also excellent. Visiting the center of Buonconvento, which I recommend to everyone, is a stop not to be overlooked.

Experiencia positiva: Very interesting indeed. How did people live in the countryside a hundred years ago? We can't even imagine it. This museum opens our eyes to the hard, very hard life that our grandparents or - for the youngest - great-grandparents lived, in which the condition of women impresses above all. A truly valuable collection. A museum not to be missed.

Experiencia fantástica: I applaud Buonconvento for opening a museum about sharecropping, the old economic system between the landowner (padrone) and farmers (mezzadri). They shared the harvest and since the sharecropper had a direct interest in productivity, the landowner’s ignorance of farming techniques was of little importance. The farmers kept half of the produce which fed their families. They made wine, olive oil, grew grains and vegetables, chickens for eggs and other animals for food. This system lasted until the 1960’s and is shown thru photographs, tools, music, film, documents and interiors of farmhouses. A fascinating look into a different world not so far ago. This is a cool place to bring kids and mature adults alike! Especially on a blindingly hot summer's day ...
