The visitor will make a tour of the history, manufacture, and finished product of each of the three trades, through explanatory panels in three languages, and exhibits, which highlight part of the measuring instruments and tuned bells of the Roses bell ringers. The collection is located in the building of the old laundry-slaughterhouse of the 1930s, built by the prestigious Valencian architect Javier Goerlich Lleó. The recent restoration of the laundry allows to circulate over a sheet of glass, forming a diaphanous space where  are held, conferences, temporary exhibitions, esparto workshops, etc. It is a Municipal Museum Collection dedicated to the craft work of the municipality, from the work of esparto documented already in Muslim times, through the work of stone from the seventeenth century, and ending with the saga of the Roses bell ringers  and its worldwide known foundry of bronzes.
