The Museum of the Asturian People (Spanish: Museo del Pueblo de Asturias; Asturian: Muséu del Pueblu d'Asturies) is a museum in Gijón, Principality of Asturias, Spain.[1] It is an open-air artspace containing Asturian popular art installations, large ethnographic items, and three buildings:
- Casa de los Valdes: temporary exhibition space
- Casa de los González de la Vega: site of the International Bagpipe Museum, including a collection of traditional Asturian musical instruments.[2]
- The Asturian Pavilion from the 1992 Universal Exposition of Seville, installed at the museum in 1994.
The museum is also known as Asturian Village (Spanish: Pueblo de Asturias;[3][4] Asturian: Pueblu d'Asturies), since pueblo (in Asturian language, pueblu) means both village and people, and the museum documents the culture of Asturian people, while being in a setting that contains rural buildings and houses, resembling a traditional Asturian village.
