Museum Tusken de Marren: tractors and teapots

In Eastermar, Museum Tusken de Marren brings together two very different collecting subjects. The tourist description mentions Steyr tractors and farming equipment alongside coffee pots, teapots and household items.

Plan your visit ↗

The tractor as a workplace

Regional news coverage describes the collection with Steyr tractors. On a pre-arranged visit, look at the driver’s position, the controls and the attachment points for implements. An explanation of how it was used makes such a vehicle more than a familiar brand.

Technology around the tractors

Stationary engines and old tools are mentioned as well. Ask how these items are explained in the display. Looking at machinery that is standing still and watching a demonstration are different ways to visit; agree what you expect in advance.

A different scale

The coffee pots and teapots provide a domestic counterweight to the farm machinery. Shape, spout and decoration lend themselves to direct comparison. This way you can move from large machines to small everyday objects during the same visit.

Before you go

By appointment only, preferably not on a Sunday. Discuss group size and any need for the wheelchair-accessible toilet mentioned.
