Museu Casa Rull: A Glimpse into Andorra's Rural Past

Museu Casa Rull provides a fascinating insight into Andorra's rural heritage. The museum is set within a traditional Andorran house that belonged to the Rull family, prominent landowners in the parish of La Massana. The house, originally built in the 17th century, was significantly transformed over time, reflecting the family's evolving status and needs. A fire in the 19th century damaged the attic, leading to subsequent renovations. Inside Museu Casa Rull, visitors can explore various rooms that depict different aspects of family life. The exhibits showcase original furniture, tools, and utensils, offering an authentic glimpse into the daily routines and responsibilities of the family members. The museum highlights the unique family and social structure prevalent in Andorra's valleys until the last century. The top floor was used for storage and drying of fruits, nuts, herbs and tobacco. Casa Rull Museum is part of the Rural Habitat Itinerary. The museum opened on June 9, 2000. It shows the house as it might have been in the late 19th century when it was occupied by the Perich family. The museum also hosts temporary exhibitions by young artists.
