Pop into this airy colonial mansion with two floors of exhibits, showcasing old photographs, traditional music instruments, sewing machines and sundry items. You can watch the 28-minute film about the 1995 volcano eruption (no subtitles), the most recent eruption prior to the 2014 blast. It's also worth having a peak at the funco, a traditional circular abode made of volcanic rock, in the leafy courtyard.
