Sa Dom’e Farra (lit. house of flour) is a historic Campidanese house prepared since 1978 as the first Sardinian ethnographic museum on the initiative of its founder, Cav. Giovanni Battista Musiu who, moved by a passion for local traditions and a strong sense of cultural responsibility, took care of the setting up of the exhibition spaces with numerous artifacts of the peasant tradition, objects of popular culture and with the reconstruction of the furnishings of the typical manor house of Quartese as a testimony to the customs, lifestyles and traditions of Sardinian society of past centuries. The same Campidanese house chosen as the museum’s headquarters, with its characteristic features, becomes an integral part of the exhibition itself. In 2008, the house museum was given by the region to the municipality of Quartu as its identity symbol.
Indeed, the ancient mansion plays the role of a community home for the City in preserving its agricultural origins and enhancing the knowledge of its ancestors, and is a point of attraction for tourists and visitors.
