Reviews
Nice place to learn more about Matera! They try to reconstruct the previous living situation as far as possible. The figures, the animals, the furnitures , the tools and the foods ……. One can get a quick impression of the way of the cave people’s life.
Very interesting audio and recreation of the living space as it was back in the day.
Great place to understand how people live in the caves, quick and cheep spot.
A good representation. Nice
A 1 room exhibition showing a typical farmers house in old Matera. Audio tour of a well built room and worth the 2€.
3 cats of different sorts, I think spells out how fantastic it is. But seriously, I was so surprised how small the sassi people were.
A must visit when in Matera. Entrance only 2€. Gives you an insight how people lived here till 1950s.
Could help to create the idea of what is a typical house back in the time. - very recommended!
