Hands and tools

Compare the tools of the weaver, wheelwright, coppersmith, clog maker and cigar maker. For each trade, look for which movement, raw material and skill were central.

The shop as a meeting place

In the old shop, packaging, measures and the counter tell how products were sold. Ask which fittings are original and which were later assembled into a coherent presentation.

Finds from the soil

Archaeological finds from Arcen, Lomm and Velden call for precise provenance. See whether the find spot and dating are given before you link them to a castle or village.

Before you go

Only open on Sundays from 1 June to 31 October, 13.00–17.00. No open access is stated outside the season; groups can request an appointment.
