The museum is a private structure, founded and raised with volunteer activities and a great spirit of self-denial. Far from the museum-death equivalence, it is a museum for reproposing and re-appropriation of our culture, with educational purposes and social development. This is attested by the many cultural initiatives, organized, in particular, in recent years, in collaboration with the Antonino Uccello House Museum of Palazzolo Acreide, the dialogue with the world of school and with some museums belonging to the Museum Network of Iblean Culture, the involvement of young people, in order to stimulate them to become aware of the economic potential that may result from the right use of cultural and environmental heritage. It is managed by the Municipality of Buscemi and the Association for the Conservation of Popular Culture of the Hyblaean, through an agreement of partnership, following the establishment of the Civic Museum, took place in November 2007.

Ragusa is a beautiful Sicilian city, among one of the most important in Italy, full of history, culture and architectural beauty. The sunsets that can be enjoyed in this city seem to come out of a painter's palette. All this beauty was lost when a devastating earthquake, which happened in 1693, almost destroyed the entire city... it took years for it to be concluded the restructuring, which took place only in the 18th century. So two neighborhoods were born, Ragusa Superiore (built in the plateau) and Ragusa Ibla (built on the ruins of the ancient city). There are many places of tourist interest: the Portal of San Giorgio (13th century), the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist (Baroque, among one of the most ugrave; grosse d'Italia), the Cathedral of San Giorgio, the Palazzo Zocco (in Rococo style), Palazzo la Rocca (built around 1765). For those who love archaeology and want a day at Indiana Jones, we recommend the sites of Castiglione di Ragusa (which was a Siculo-Greek settlement in the 6th century. BC) and Kamarina (where remains of Hellenistic houses are found). The Sicilian culinary tradition is famous and delicious; two typical dishes of Ragusa are: the Ragusa tripe and the Boiled di Vitellone.
