Palazzolo Acreide Museum

Amid the lanes of the ancient Orologio quarter is the Museum House of Antonio Uccello.
This house, the brainchild of the passionate work of a Sicilian ethnologist, conserves important testimonies of the material everyday life and folklore of Hyblaeum and of Sicily. The house, now a Regional Museum, has maintained intact the typical rooms of local manor houses: on the ground floor there are the olive-press, the shed for the animals, the granary, and the storehouse; on a higher level are the living quarters. Each room has its furnishings, ornaments, equipment, clothes, items of everyday use, and everything else that belonged to that world of the past, which this extraordinary monument to the civil life and memory of Hyblaeum has succeeded in conserving and making more widely known. From furniture to pottery, from work tools to puppet theatre stage props, the various items from their different ages, all varying in function, form, and decoration pattern, recount the tale of a millenary cultural continuity, of that "long duration" that is the outstanding feature of the life and history of communities in this corner of Sicily.
