The Weaving Museum of the Means should be understood as a weaving workshop, since all the looms of the old factory are functional and producing. This equipment is exposed in an old "papa" blankets factory, founded in 1954.

Settled in an old plant of “papa” blankets, there is a weaver showing how these pieces of peculiar name are born, made in wool, which served both as layette and used by the shepherds to protect them from extreme winter. Its collection includes articles related to sheep-farming, transhumance and the use of sheep wool. One of the floors of the museum is fully occupied by looms in which “papa” blankets are manufactured.
