Aguilas The Carnival Museum

Created by the local authorities and financed by the Aguilas Tourist amenities creation fund, it was opened to the public in October 2002.

It holds a collection showing the characteristics which are most representative of the spirit of the Aguilas Carnival. The day time parades with their imagination feathers and sequins the night time celebrations with their element of greater daring. The most representative figures such as the Muse, master meat, Dame Lent and Mussona.

There are articles on display which recall the Carnival in the olden days, with the crow and the egg shell full of confetti, classic symbols of our festivities which were placed on the official Spanish tourist calendar in 1997. There is also a collection of Carnival posters dating back across the years.
