Plan your visit ↗

Living in context

The living kitchen and box beds together form a domestic setting. Look at the relationship between furniture and space, and use the explanation to understand how the museum display has been put together.

The stable as well

The stable adds another function to the building. Ask how the route connects living and working, without regarding everything on show as one unchanging picture of the past.

Photographs alongside the interior

A separate exhibition space with photographs and artefacts is mentioned. This can provide extra context for the furnished rooms, depending on what is shown on the day of your visit.

Before you go

Opening is limited to seasonal Sundays. Confirm the correct arrival point in advance, as address listings differ, and discuss any accessibility questions.
