School and governance
An old classroom and a council chamber show different forms of authority. Compare furniture, arrangement and written rules and ask which institutions the items came from.
Workshops and emergency services
The cartwright’s workshop and the fire brigade collection make technology and local craftsmanship visible. Choose one tool and describe the action, force and material associated with it.
From royal family to attic nature
Themed rooms on the Royal House, religion and war vary widely; in the attic, flora and fauna appear. Use the layout to see differences, not to expect a single chronological route.
Before you go
Open Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday afternoon; groups can make appointments, and it is often closed on the first day of public holidays.
