The Civic Museum "I Luoghi del Lavoro Contadino" in Buscemi is a multi-site ecomuseum that recounts the life and traditions of the rural world of the Iblei. The exhibition is not concentrated in a single building, but extends throughout the town's historic center through ancient homes, artisan workshops, and places associated with agricultural and production activities.
The museum reconstructs environments such as the farmer's house, the millstone, the olive press, and the blacksmith, carpenter, and shoemaker's workshops, offering authentic testimony to rural civilization between the 19th and 20th centuries. Sections dedicated to the grain cycle, traditional crafts, and the memory of folk life complete the exhibition, making Buscemi a true "town museum" immersed in Sicilian ethno-anthropological culture.
