Work and shop
The museum mentions a silversmith’s workshop and a grocer’s shop. Look at the interiors in terms of the activities explained there: making, storing, displaying and selling. Tools then take on a function within a workplace instead of being just a name in a display case.
A local human story
The collection page also describes a section on Jewish history and a film about Esther Colthof. Give this part your separate attention. A personal presentation calls for a different way of looking than comparing tools or shop items.
Finds from the ground
Stone finds and finds from the ground are also part of the collection; the museum highlights a hand axe. Read how the find spot and interpretation are explained. That information makes clear why an object belongs in a museum about this particular region.
Before you go
Regular opening Wednesday to Saturday afternoons. The museum reports full wheelchair accessibility; arrange guided tours in advance.
