House Museum of Soap (Casa Museo del Sapone) Tours The House Museum of Soap (Casa Museo del Sapone), created by an artisan soap company in their estateâs historic Sicilian farmhouse, is dedicated to the history and science of soap-making. You can view old presses and agricultural tools, see demonstrations, and even make your own soap during the guided tour.
Surrounded by olive groves in the countryside outside of Sciacca, the House Museum of Soap sits next to the workshops where Saponi e Saponi make their artisan soaps and natural cosmetics from their estateâs extra-virgin olive oil. The 19th-century building that houses the museum was carefully renovated to preserve its original stonework and high ceilings. Then in 2015, the family who owns the company turned the farmhouse into a museum that traces the history of soap dating back to 2800 BC. The museum is open only for guided tours, so you must book ahead to visit; tours of the museum make for a fun day trip from Agrigento and include a workshop where you can make your own soap.Â
With its hands-on workshop, this is a fun stop for older kids and crafty folks.
Tours are offered in English.
The museum is accessible to wheelchair users.
The House Museum of Soap is located in Contrada Cartabubbo, a country hamlet near Sciacca in the Agrigento area of southwest Sicily. There is no public transportation to the museum, so the best way to visit is by driving or joining a guided tour that includes transportation.
The museum is open year-round. Visits are by prebooked guided tours only, so there are no set hours.
Sciacca Toy Museum
