ASPE HISTORICAL MUSEUM The History of the town of Aspe is disclosed by the Historical Museum, from where a wide range of activities are offered in order to promote and preserve the cultural heritage of the population: temporary exhibitions, conference cycles, educational workshops, presentation of publications . For its location was chosen a historic building of the late nineteenth century, located at the outskirts of the town and known as "The Cisco". THE VISIT Through two different spaces in the Historical Museum of Aspe history is reconstructed through its archaeological and ethnological pieces. The tour begins in the archeology rooms. There, the visitor can know not only the aspects of the daily life of the different cultures that have inhabited this territory, but the great historical events that motivated the passage of one another. In this way, hunter-gatherer life forms of Paleolithic human groups give rise to the appearance of agriculture and the birth of stable settlements and the creation of the first classical civilizations, such as the Iberians. The Romanization, the Islamization and the Christianization of these lands also allow us to understand the formation and evolution of ancient and medieval cultures, as well as the pillars on which the society of modern times is based. The contents related to Contemporary History are the link with the collection of ethnography, built thanks to the material contribution and oral information of many inhabitants of Aspe. The ethnographic funds are also composed of elements belonging to the house and located in their original environment, such as the mill and the winery. These materials make reference to agricultural work, crafts and other aspects of traditional life.
