Museo Maria Carta
About This Museum
Tucked away in her hometown of Siligo, the Museo Maria Carta is a heartfelt tribute to one of Sardinia's most iconic voices. It feels less like a formal institution and more like stepping into the soul of the island itself. You'll find yourself surrounded by the very stage costumes she wore, their sequins catching the light, and personal letters written in her own hand. The air is often filled with the haunting sound of her recordings, which makes the experience incredibly intimate and moving.
Collection Highlights
Her magnificent stage gowns take center stage, but it's the small things—like her handwritten musical scores and a collection of traditional launeddas (Sardinian reed pipes)—that truly tell her story. A dedicated listening room lets you fully immerse yourself in the profound depth of songs like 'No potho reposare'.
Visitor Information
It's located right on Via Aldo Moro in Siligo, making it a perfect cultural stop while exploring the Logudoro region. Just be sure to check opening hours in advance as a smaller museum.
Architecture & Building
Housed in a modest, unassuming building that feels authentically local, it reflects the humble roots of its subject rather than aiming for architectural grandeur.
