The Collection of Household Items began to take shape and develop since the founding of the Museum. Today's Collection of Household Items includes 2069 objects, consisting of a series of smaller collections that, due to their quality and number, can be considered independent, rounded units. It was precisely wooden objects of peasant design that brought to the fore folk aesthetics, illustrated by numerous objects of daily use made of wood by shepherds, but also by particularly gifted individuals from whom villagers commissioned the making of items for their households from the late 18th to the mid-20th century. Among them, the simply shaped and undecorated objects that were abundant in every rural household, such as plates, bowls, spoons, troughs, various containers for storing food and salt shakers, stand out in particular. An exceptionally valuable set of objects in the collection are metal objects that make up hearth and lighting accessories, as well as objects that were used for preparing and serving food and various household items intended for mass industrial production and that, in some way, marked the culture of housing during the 20th century.
