The “Casa del Bread” museum in Pompu is unique in the panorama of ethnographic museums in Sardinia dedicated to food and gastronomic traditions for its multimedia approach, strongly evocative of the past and present life of the country's community and of the territory in general.
The exhibition itinerary divided along the rooms of the house, in fact, goes through the entire production process (grinding, sifting, baking, conservation) to reach today and relaunch the tradition of making bread into the future.
Thanks to a skilful integration between new technologies, the architectural space and the collection of objects, partly purchased by the Municipality and partly enriched by the donation made by the population of Pompu, and thanks to the contribution of the Autonomous Region of Sardinia and the involvement of the Parte Montis Union of Municipalities, the project synthesizes a knowledge experience on the tradition of “bread” that goes from wheat cultivation to baking through a wise combination of overlaps and interactions between the profession traditional of “bread making” and the new means of video-digital communication.
In the house-museum, the first level of the itinerary can be used by visitors in a collective way, and is entrusted to interactive macro-installations that occupy the center of the scene and introduce the general theme to which the room is dedicated. A second level, accessible independently and personally thanks to a special touch screen tablet device, inserted in a farmer's saddlebag, which every visitor receives as a gift at the entrance of the house, is entrusted to the individual objects displayed along the walls or placed on the furniture.
