From implement to action
Choose an agricultural implement and look at what it was intended for. What movement or action does it require of the user? With that question, an old object becomes more concrete than just a name or year of manufacture.
Craft and household
Compare work on the land with tools from a craft and a household object. They do not all tell the same story. It is precisely the difference between outdoor work, skilled work and daily chores that makes the breadth of the regional collection interesting.
A different theme when you return
An exhibition that changes every year adds an extra focus alongside the collection. Ask which subject is currently in the spotlight. That way, on a repeat visit you can look specifically at something new or take the temporary display as your starting point.
Before you go
Museum admission is included in the park ticket. Check the museum hours separately; the park being open does not mean the museum is already open.
