Fent Primavera is a place to remember our environment, to love it and take care of it. And what better way to convey this message than painting it with our hands, because in each of its corners there is a little bit of hidden nature. Do you dare to look for your spring? In addition, we will be able to take home a backpack for our outings in nature.

The poster condenses with a few elements the whole Fallas festival, although there are almost always elements that are repeated, if we look at the historical posters since 1929: masclets, dolls, falleras and, above all, a lot of red color and a lot of fire. With paint, collage, pieces of paper and a lot of imagination, we will create our own Fallas poster, to highlight the work of artists and graphic designers.

In this workshop the children will have to do a scavenger hunt through the rooms of the museum looking for a series of objects and writing their name. Then, with the negative of one of the objects they have found, they will make a cyanotype, which is one of the first photographic techniques. We will also talk about the first photography book, made by Anna Atkins with this technique.

Would you like to come and have some fun? You are still in time! Come and create figures, games and much more with clay! We're sure we'll have a great time, playing at being craftsmen and craftswomen and creating things in the traditional way. Are you up for it?

We start the new season with renewed educational workshops for the whole family. Aimed at children from 4 years old accompanied by an adult, workshops are held on Sundays at 12:30 pm. 

Tickets will be distributed from the Thursday before each workshop. Participants will be pick up  in the museum lobby at 12:30 pm. 

Workshops are offered  in both Spanish and Valencian.

Enguany Espanta la Por! està dedicat a Enric Valor en agraïment a la seua gran tasca de recopilació  i difusió de la narració oral valenciana.
Celebrem 6 anys reivindicant la por valenciana al voltant de Tots Sants. I més que mai volem espantar les nostres pors amb l’ajuda dels monstres i les rondalles, jugant amb la Quarantamaula, cantant amb l’Home dels Nassos, escoltant la veu del Caro, dibuixant el nostre monstre imaginari i llegint les meravelloses rondalles i històries de la nostra terra.
Un any més espantem les pors molt ben acompanyats de les biblioteques valencianes i els museus etnològics locals, però enguany busquem escoles que se sumen al moviment Espanta la por! Ens acompanyeu en este viatge de valents i valentes?
Els monstres valencians continuen molt vius, aneu a l’aguait!

Dressing is a necessity, but it is also a sign of our character or our socio-economic status. We also dress to go to parties or to different events (weddings, baptisms, parties, etc.). The traditional costume has changed over time influenced by fashions. The typical costume is a model created, often with a mixture of styles and periods. With our characters, Empar and Ximo, we will learn about the differences between the costumes of the Valencian regions, the main items of clothing and how they are worn on the body.

It is a well-known fact that women have always told stories. They have been the ones who have preserved the living memory of the oral tradition the most and the best. They have been the ones who have most and best preserved the living memory of the oral tradition. And they have done so in the domestic sphere, accompanying the tasks of caring for, feeding and entertaining their loved ones, with the spoken and sung word, recreating the word-caress, or the word that provokes curiosity and restlessness. 

They have also done so, outside the home, by conversing or encouraging collective agricultural and livestock tasks. There were many propitious moments throughout the day to allow the living word to be spoken, together with the gaze that crosses centuries and plunges into distant lands. It was so common for women to tell stories that the expression "old wives' tales" was coined. 

But women have not limited themselves to telling stories in the intimacy of the home or in the workplace. They have been and are the undisputed protagonists of the survival and revitalisation of the spoken word in all areas of life. Thanks to them, this art, this treasure, this craft of storytelling remains alive. 

From AL CALIU DE LES PARAULES we will pay special attention to the role that women have played in the creation of tales and stories. We will do so with Marina Sanfilippo, an expert in artistic and popular orality, and with Victoria Gullón, Nuria Urrioz and Emma López, three great storytellers who in this eighth edition will accompany us to enjoy stories, romances and songs in the heat of the bonfires, and of course, of words, the living memory of the oral tradition. And they have done so on the domestic stage, accompanying the tasks of caring for, feeding and entertaining their loved ones, with the word told and sung, recreating the word-caress, or the word that provokes curiosity and restlessness.

L’ETNO, Museu Valencià d'Etnologia, es una institución cuya misión es coleccionar, investigar y difundir todo aquello relacionado con la cultura tradicional y popular valenciana. Como sucede en todas las culturas, el pue­blo valenciano se enfrenta a un futuro identitario inde­finido, en debate permanente entre un mundo cultural­mente cada vez más homogéneo y el deseo de mantener las costumbres y prácticas que consideran propias y que les arraigan a un territorio y a una colectividad.

Todas las identidades culturales, también la tuya, están sujetas a contradicciones, a tensiones y a falta de una­nimidad. Mientras hay personas que las ven como un hecho positivo, otras las detestan; mientras unas solo defienden la suya, con postulados excluyentes, otras prefieren la multiculturalidad. Lo que parece claro es que, lejos de ser una cuestión cerrada, la identidad cul­tural está en continua evolución, en un diálogo constan­te entre las diferentes sensibilidades presentes en la sociedad.

En nuestras salas permanentes os proponemos reflexionar sobre estas cuestiones, enmarcándolas en la sociedad valenciana desde el final del mundo preindustrial hasta hoy. La exposición se or­ganiza en tres ámbitos, y en cada uno de ellos se abor­da un tema: la Ciudad, donde se plantean cuestiones relacionadas con la tensión entre lo global y lo local; la Huerta y el Marjal, en los que se consideran algunos es­tereotipos relacionados con la cultura valenciana, y Secano y Montaña, donde se hace referencia a aspec­tos poco conocidos de las tierras del interior valenciano.
