Plan your visit ↗

Implements with a purpose

The presentation mentions implements used in dairy processing. Start with the action an object was used for. The explanation helps you connect an unfamiliar implement to a product you do know.

Images alongside objects

Film footage is part of what is described. It offers a different way in from a static object: you can pay attention to the sequence of actions and to the people doing the work.

A warehouse as a setting

The museum description mentions cheese shelves in the attic of the former cheese warehouse. During your visit, see how the building and the presentation relate to each other. Not all floors are accessible to everyone.

Before you go

Only the ground floor is wheelchair accessible. The museum mentions payment by card; also check whether the museum is open within the season on your date.
