The tour of this museum, opened in 2011, has the double advantage of visiting a modernist house, since it is housed in a small palace (Palacete) of 1930, Casa de Doña Josefina, and has a remarkable collection of traditional costumes and jewellery. In total, this museum holds a fund of more than 2 000 pieces of textiles and jewellery from the lands of León, from the th to the early th century. Each year, an exhibition showcases some special parts in a very contextualized way: work suits, feasts or dolls. The visit begins with a video explaining the history of the place, its costumes and the rites they accompanied. One will appreciate, in particular, the number (42) and the quality of the patenas (th century silver medals, marked with religious motives), the cristos'preñaos ' (literally Christ Enceints who protected women's pregnancy), jardines (typically Bosniak contenant containing "still alive flowers" and offered as proof of love, for example, at the time of marriage), destinées intended for a marriage. to fight the post-natal mortality, very frequent in these times, or the remarkable collaradas, the Bosniak «identity» collars of coral and agate to which medals are attached and who are not without thinking about jewellery Berbers. Be aware that the museum's wealth has earned it the coming of Madrid experts in traditional jewellery.
