About us
More than just
old tools
Not a silent archive — a place for encounters, trying things out, and shared remembrance.
Originally founded as a local history collection, today we place crafts and everyday culture in their social context. From the rural hair salon to work in the forge — for individual visitors, families, and school classes of all ages.
