The Ethnological Museum in Dragash displays a selection of traditional foods and objects, clothing, agricultural tools and musical instruments, as well as the municipality’s spiritual heritage. These themes connect different aspects of municipal life: food and clothing sit alongside agriculture, music and spiritual tradition. The museum is located behind the House of Culture. Check whether it is open before visiting.

The mill focuses on a single historic structure. The river served as its source of energy; the walls were made of stone and covered with stone slabs. The mill was restored while preserving its authenticity. In this respect, it differs from the museum’s broad collection: here, the focus is on a specific connection between former use and construction. So if you compare cultural sites, the museum and the mill offer different historical points of reference.
