The Higher Regional Ethnographic Institute (ISRE)
The ISRE was established by Regional Law 26/1972 with the attached Museum of Sardinian Life and Popular Traditions. The aims of the institution are the study and documentation of the social and cultural life of Sardinia in its traditional manifestations and transformations. The activity is carried out through an articulated series of tasks and functions, including: the management of the Regional Museum of Sardinian Life and Popular Traditions, now called the Museum of Costume (Nuoro), the Deleddian Museum (Nuoro), the Regional Ethnographic Museum-Luigi Cocco Collection (Cagliari, Citadel of Museums); the management of the Media Library. The Institute takes care of the preparation of exhibitions and conferences, conducts studies and research and creates audiovisual and cinematographic productions
The collections The Costume Museum, permanently open since 1976, formerly called the Museum of Life and Popular Traditions of Sardinia, is the largest Ethnographic Museum in Sardinia. Reopened to the public in 2015 after the structural and exhibition redevelopment. It offers a cross-section of traditional regional life: professions, living and domestic spaces, tools, food, clothes, ornaments, parties, music, religion and popular imagination.
The Ceramics Museum is originally set up at Casa Chironi with a small collection owned by the ISRE, then enriched over time with donations and acquisitions from centers such as Campidano and the Dorgali school, up to the contemporary productions of the masters of artistic craftsmanship. The Museum preserves and exhibits 19th century everyday handicrafts and contemporary creative and artistic productions
