Renowned architects such as Le Corbusier, Erwin Broner and Josep Lluís Sert applauded the ingenious architectural solutions used in the island’s country dwellings together with the long-standing tradition that spawned such practices. We recommend that you spend some time during your visit to quietly explore this excellent example of Ibicenco rural architecture, where you will find the porxo (living room), the kitchen, the wine cellar, the oil press, the well and the cistern; while, on the second floor, we find the cases de dormir (bedrooms) and the porxet (balcony).
The rooms of the farmhouse contain the museum’s permanent exhibition, which includes clothing, jewellery, household utensils, work and farming tools, musical instruments, weapons and items for personal grooming.
