Association Culturelle Biscarrossaise (A.C.B)MUSEE DES TRADITIONS
The Museum was creates in 1988. Thanks to the gifts do to our association by families, most often biscarrossaises but equally of neighboring towns. 
 
 These furniture gifts, tools, objects and various documents constitute an important party of what we presented to you. (thanks to their placement in value by the volunteer ones of the association).
 
 Documents and models redraw the evolutions of local geography (dunes, lakes).

The job of the followers of our two workshops of art, basketry and painting on porcelain, is also displayed in this museum. These splendid objects are for sale for very modest sums.
 
 The men are not forgotten since an important party is devoted to their work: 

The gemmage or résinage. 


The invention of the gemmage dates back to the era gallo-romaine, But the procedure generalized itself in the Moors of Gascogne one from the environment of the XVIIIe century with the end of the system agro-pastoral and massive afforestation of the plain sandblaster of the Moors.
 
 One distinguishes often the gemmage to life, moderated and that allows the tree growth, gemmage to death that the exhausts in some years before his cutting down.
 
 The gemmage is a very characteristic activity of the traditional exploitation of the forest of pine of the Moors.  (origin wikipédia)
