On the shop side
The baker’s shop described includes bread boxes, an old counter and a device for bags that the organisation calls a “slang”. Look at how the shop is fitted out and which actions you can recognise in it.
Around the oven
In the oven room, the museum mentions a proving cabinet, a dough trough, bread peels and bread tins, among other things. Try to put these items in order. Which tool belongs to preparing, proving, baking or taking out? Ask for an explanation where a shape is not immediately clear.
An everyday product
It is precisely bread that makes the subject accessible: you don’t need to be a baker to become curious about the work behind it. Distinguish between what you think you recognise and what the museum’s description actually explains. The adjacent tea house offers a possible addition to your visit.
Before you go
Access to the museum is linked to the tea house. The times stated for Thursday vary; confirm the opening before you set off.
