The Museum of Traditional Costume and Linen, through the collection of costumes, aims to preserve, make known and transmit the identity and culture of one of the few villages in Sardinia where, still today, the daily use of traditional dress remains. The collection is divided into two sections: costumes and linen. The costumes, displayed in the nave, are kept inside wooden cases, skilfully built and carved by local craftsmen. The collection includes different types of Busachese costumes: the ceremonial ones, worn for weddings; those for the most important festivities and for minor parties; the daily ones; those of children and babies and even those worn during mourning periods. All made exclusively by hand by the local women who have made manual dexterity an art, jealously guarded and handed down over time from generation to generation.
The section of the linen is inserted in the side chapel and in the sacristy, and tells the different phases of the linen processing, showing all the tools necessary to make the fabric: from the plough for the preparation of the soil, to the defibration of the stems, to the spinning wheel, to the loom, up to the precious artefact.
