Museum of el Carro y Aperos de Labranza

Monument · Tomelloso, La Mancha, Ciudad Real

The Museum of the Cart and Farm Tools, an ethnographic museum in Tomelloso founded in the 1960s, brings together more than 400 objects related to agricultural work, domestic life and winemaking, along with graphic and photographic documents. On October 20, 1970, a bombo built in dry stone by Pablo Moreno using more than two million stones was inaugurated on its grounds; these constructions typical of the area, with a round-arched entrance and a chimney, were used to shelter farmers in the fields and store their tools, and today house rooms dedicated to farm laborers, tools and working animals. Since 1996 the museum has also had a training workshop school, which has built the Cocinilla Manchega and is working on a traditional inn of La Mancha.
