The museum was funded in 1984 by a patronage of Fonsagrada neighbours. Currently, the town council and the high and elementary schools are part of the association. The museum houses etnographic, archaeological and contemporary art pieces.

The etnographic section presents a pantry, a smith's forge and a hearth. This section shows elements of rural trades, farm work, countryside and religiousness. Another important part is dedicated to migration, where the visitor can behold the memories of a local emigrant in Buenos Aires and Havana.
