The front room
The museum mentions tiles, a tableau, box beds and a rush mat in the front room. Look at how these elements have been brought together in the space. The explanation helps you place the period the interior sets out to evoke.
A shop in the house
The small grocer’s shop forms another part of the display. Moving from room to shop can be a way of looking at living and working side by side. Pay attention to the fittings and ask which objects are explained in connection with what the shop sold.
Carved in peat
The museum’s description mentions peat carvings by Jan Weima and tools used by peat cutters, fishermen, reed cutters and farmers. The same material can thus prompt you to look at both use and imagery. Ask which parts are open on the day of your visit.
Before you go
Opening depends on volunteers. Phone in advance, even if you plan to come within the summer schedule mentioned.
