The Museum of Popular Culture, the House of Giants, was born from the desire to bring together the figures of the municipal festival troupe and other troupes and festivals that make up the traditional culture, in a space for the public who can visit everyday.
Located at the headquarters of the Council of Culture, it has a special impact on the collection of giants, tadpoles and horses for the Festa Major de Lleida, which is celebrated every May 11 in honor of Sant Anastasi.
At Casa dels Gegants you can see:
- The Giants that make up the current group of the Lleida Giants.
- The Capgrossos of the municipal troupe.
- The Horseshoe Dance.
- The Traps and the Penó, along with the costumes of the Heralds, Signifers and Crier.
