About Museu dos Usos e Costumes da Gente Trentina
The Museu dos Usos e Costumes da Gente Trentina is housed at the Circolo Trentino di Rodeio headquarters. The building was originally built for a school linked to the Irmãs da Divina Providência and went through other uses before housing the Trentino institution. The collection offers references to habits and the memory of immigration. The building and the objects should be read together, avoiding reducing the experience to the colonizers’ family origins alone.
Arrange the museum’s reception before planning your day, as the visit may depend on someone being available to welcome you. During the visit, note what the items reveal about work, domestic life and community practices. Guidance from someone familiar with the collection helps to understand functions that are not obvious from appearance alone.
