A permanent exhibition devoted to island textile crafts coming from all over Sardinia is housed in a modern building just outside the town centre. A real must-see are five tapinos ‘e mortu, carpets on which the dead are traditionally laid out during the funeral wake. They depict a complex symbolism of anthropomorphic and zoomorphic beings which surprisingly find echo in Anatolian funerary textiles, in Coptic Egyptian tradition and in pre-Colombian Peru. Also art on exhibition are various table cloths, sheets, linens, work clothes, traditional costumes, affaciadas (small carpets to be displayed in occasion of the Corpus Domini procession) and a collection of precious ottoman covers.
