Clothing and everyday use
Traditional dress and tableware do not by themselves tell you who wore or used them. Read the captions for place, period and occasion, and compare an everyday piece with a festive version.
Rituals in farm life
Birth, marriage and death are named as themes. Look for which objects mark a transition and which belong mainly to ordinary housekeeping or farm work.
Tools and QR route
Farm implements and a virtual tour via QR code complement the rooms. Only use the digital explanations after you have looked at the shape, wear and probable use yourself.
Before you go
The official page mentions only Wednesdays in the summer season; other guides give wider, conflicting schedules. Groups of ten or more can arrange a visit all year round.
