THE MUSEUM OF PUÇOL

The school museum of Puçol is an educational-museum project that has been developed in the unitary school of the rural district of Puçol since 1968. The main activity is the education of schoolchildren using local heritage and culture as teaching resources in at the same time as conserving and enhancing museum resources.

PUÇOL'S MUSEUM

The Puçol Museum was born at the end of the sixties to integrate the learning of the trades and traditions of the countryside of Elche. The inhabitants of the pedania have always been involved in the proposal and, together with the participation of the schoolchildren, they have made the museum become an innovative educational proposal.

THE PUÇOL'S MUSEUM

In 2009, this project became part of UNESCO, which stands out in the Puçol museum as a center for Good Practices and the Safeguarding of Intangible Cultural Heritage.
