The Museum is located in Villa Fracanzan Piovene and reconstructs the daily life and various jobs carried out in the villas. Do not miss the main kitchen with the sink, which Napoleon wanted to take with him to Paris. In the rural outbuilding we find a collection of vintage tractors and threshers. The set of rural environments, their furniture and agricultural tools form the museum of "Daily life and work in the villa", which is of particular interest also for schools.
Inside the barn, in the premises of the old carpentry we can admire the exhibition of all the tools used in the past: planes, saws, chisels, gauges, augers. The house of the steward with kitchen, bedroom and looms, cellar and laundry, testifies to the country life on farms in the Veneto countryside. The barns contain numerous machines and tools from the nineteenth century.
Outside, a collection of the first agricultural engines and tractors reflects the change in the working of the fields in the past one hundred years, as a result of the "progress" and mechanization.
