Named after a plane
The museum’s name refers to a type of plane. That makes a fitting start for looking at how a tool’s shape relates to the result a craftsman tries to achieve with it.
Comparing crafts
A painter’s tool calls for a different action from a blacksmith’s. Read how the presentation explains use and material, so that similarities and differences become recognisable.
Other technology
A sock-knitting machine and a small grain mill are mentioned alongside the craft collection. Such items broaden the view from hand tools to more complex mechanisms.
Before you go
Regular opening is limited to the season, Thursday afternoons and the first Sunday. Confirm visits outside those times and ask about the building’s accessibility.
