Housed on C/ Sant Domènec 5, the museum showcases vintage tools, harvest photographs and milling gear that shaped the region’s economy and identity. From planting through to the threshing floor, every corner tells a story of water-filled fields, community labour and the golden rice harvest.

Parking tip:
The museum is in Pego’s old town, and on-street spaces can fill up quickly, especially in the morning. For easier parking:
- Use the Parking Garage in the center (just a short walk away) and enjoy a scenic stroll into the centre.
- If you prefer to park closer, aim for the regulated “Zona Azul” (blue-zone) near the museum—arrive early and have your mobile/coin ready to pay.
This way you avoid the narrow one-way streets and enjoy your visit without parking stress.
