About
The Casa Deriu Museum in Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, 59 tells the story of life in a noble house in the heart of the city of Bosa. Refurbished in 1838, the House retains the original furnishings, the spaces intended for the servants, and the linen with embroidery and filet, the pride of the Bosa artisans. The house is spread over three levels. The first floor is reserved for temporary exhibitions. The noble floor, the manor house, is an intact example of a nineteenth-century house for high-income families, in use until a recent past with largely original furnishings. The circular path goes through the living room, the bedroom, the walk-in closet (wardrobe), the dining room. The servants' lodgings are still present and undergoing restoration. Also on display are 18 works from the Capuchin Convent of Bosa and belonging to the Fund for religious buildings: oil paintings on canvas and polychrome wooden statues. On the third floor there is a precious collection of works by Melchiorre Melis
