The Museu Terra (of the Carulla Foundation) explores through its permanent exhibition the material and intangible heritage that bears witness to what life was like in the rural world before the second industrial revolution and that helps us understand the present and allows us to imagine more sustainable futures.
Located in Espluga de Francolí, Tarragona, the museum has a wide range of proposals such as temporary exhibitions, family activities or for educational centers. These combine analysis, experimentation and reflection on the contemporary challenges of society with a look at the past and present of the rural world.
In a museum space of 5,500 m², the Museu Terra is one of the country's leading ethnological museums. It has an extensive permanent exhibition that allows you to learn what life was like in the rural world of Catalonia, and by extension, in the Mediterranean; before the industrial revolution, what it is like today and what it could be like in the future. It has a large ethnobotanical garden that is transformed into a magnificent recreational and educational space dedicated to the preservation of ancestral knowledge about plants and garden products. Also, don't miss the temporary exhibitions that will help you understand the rural world in an interactive and fun way through the 5 senses.
The Museu Terra is a cultural center that promotes memory, reflection and sustainable social transformation from rurality and education.
