The museum of Bosco Gurin is located in the lower part of the village, "ufum Heingart", which once was the main entrance to the village as well as the location of the Walser community assembly. The Museum is located in one of the oldest houses of Bosco Gurin - restored and open to the public in 1938.

Nell'allestimento del museo - che, per sottolineare l'appartenenza dei Guriner alla grande famiglia Walser, s'intitola "Walserhaus Gurin" - sono stati rispettati gli interni tipici dell'antica casa d'abitazione gurinese. Una scala scolpita in un possente tronco di larice porta al piano superiore.

Con l'esposizione di antichi attrezzi di lavoro nella torba di fianco e con l’orto situato di fronte all’edificio principale sono documentati i metodi ingegnosi con cui un tempo i contadini di montagna sfruttavano in maniera autosufficiente le limitate possibilità del loro povero spazio vitale.
