The Museum of Costume and Tradition of Guardiagrele is located in the historic center of the city in the province of Chieti. The Museum was founded in the 1980s and is located on the ground floor of the ancient convent of San Francesco. The museum is also developed in the cloister of the church of San Francesco dating back to 1100. The museum houses about seven hundred artifacts that refer to history between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Inside the museum there is a collection consisting of objects that tell the daily life of the patriarchal, peasant and artisan family. The rooms are perfectly reconstructed according to tradition. For example, a kitchen with nineteenth-century utensils has been rebuilt with a space dedicated to weaving and spinning. There are spaces dedicated to craftsmanship with a specific collection of ancient craftsmen's tools and a section dedicated to jewelery and women's clothing.
