This museum reflects the fiestas of Bocairent and its major figures. It is divided into several sections according to the different comparsas (groups of people who participate in the festivities). Each one of them is presented with a short explanation about its origins. There can be found the typical costumes of the fiesta, with their particular polychromy, past and present photographs, and identifying objects of the different comparsas.
The museum, which has been recently opened, tries to present, in a painstaking and simple way, the Moors and Christians Festival of Bocairent for those who do not know it. On the other hand, it is a clear invitation to participate in the festivities.
