Ethnographic Museum of Ibiza

Children's clothes were never left on the line overnight, in case witches cursed them. That belief turns up among the household objects here, and it sets the tone: the museum is about how ordinary people on Ibiza dressed, worked and worried.

The clothing collection comes first in most memories of the place. Around it are ceramics, wine-making gear and a room where olive oil was once made, all inside an old farmhouse on the hilltop.

Then there is the view. Before you leave, take the steps to the left of the house. They climb to a look-out over the whole of Santa Eulària des Riu, and they are easy to walk straight past.

• Take the steps to the left before you leave; they lead up to the best view of Santa Eulària des Riu.
• Translation cards in several languages are available for the displays.
• The museum closes in the middle of the day and all day Monday, so plan around the gap.
• The approach and the rooms are hard going for wheelchairs and pushchairs. There is a wheelchair-accessible toilet.

The museum sits at the top of Puig de Missa, next to the church, so whatever you arrive in, the last stretch is uphill on foot. The nearest bus stops, Es Mercat and Policia Municipal, are both about 260 m away in a straight line.

Drivers will find a car park about 140 m away. A second, unpaved lot close by is private and not for visitors. A guidepost and an information board stand about 100 m from the museum.

Best: a morning or the late-afternoon session, Tuesday to Saturday.

Avoid: Mondays, when it is closed, and the middle of a summer day.

Sunday opening is short, the walk up the hill is exposed in the midday heat, and the late session puts you on the hilltop as the evening light falls across the town.
