Ecomuseum of the Valls d'Àneu

Historical milestone · Esterri d'Àneu, Pallars Sobirà, Lleida

The Ecomuseu de les Valls d'Àneu, devoted to the ethnography of the Àneu valleys and the rest of the Pallars, was inaugurated in 1994 and extends across the municipalities of Esterri d'Àneu, Alt Àneu, Espot and la Guingueta d'Àneu, in the comarca of Pallars Sobirà. It was conceived by Ferran Rella and Cisco Farràs from the Consell Cultural de les Valls d'Àneu and later adapted by Llorenç Prats as a living entity that, based on research, conservation and the dissemination of the integral heritage, documents traditional life in upper Pallars through the Casa Gassia, mills, forges and churches spread across several villages, and recovers ways of life from the late 19th century. It was a pioneer of the ecomuseum model in Catalonia, and in 2020 it received the Creu de Sant Jordi.
