About Puçol School Museum (Museo Escolar de Pusol)
A true hidden gem, this living museum preserves the traditional rural life of Elche and its countryside. What began in 1969 as a local school project has evolved into a collection of over 90,000 artifacts from the 19th and 20th centuries, recreating old workshops, village shops, farm tools, furniture and everyday scenes from the past. It feels like stepping into your great-grandparents' time. UNESCO recognized the Pusol Museum in 2009 by including it in the Register of Best Practices for safeguarding intangible cultural heritage. Visitors can walk through charming displays of vintage toys, clothing, household items and photos donated by locals, giving an intimate look at Elche's folk traditions. It's a bit outside the city center, but enthusiasts of culture and history highly praise this offbeat museum for its authenticity and nostalgia.
