The Museum of Rural Life in Aci Platani is an exhibition space dedicated to the memory of Etna's rural culture and the traditions of the peasant world. Housed in a historic 19th-century house, the museum preserves and recounts the daily life of the local farming communities through a rich collection of objects, tools, and reconstructed environments.
The museum tour allows visitors to rediscover the crafts, customs, and practices associated with rural life, offering authentic testimony to the past and the social and cultural roots of the area. The exhibition, designed to resemble a real rural home, takes visitors on a journey through collective memory, highlighting the local ethnographic heritage and the history of the Aci Platani area.
