Landesmuseum, Again

The Permanent Exhibit 

It had been quite a long time since I had seen it, so we walked through on our way out. It was much more “professionalized,” with barriers, glass cases, ramps over those dangerous door sills that houses don’t have any more - except ours or other such oooooold ones.

If you follow the next picture sequence, you will see a whole room, starting from to the left of the door.

Wash basin

This little bed would hold two short people, dad and mom.

Imagine the quill pen and thick papers. 

The benches along the wall hold the overflow.

For linens and crockery



A close up of the Kachelofen (heating stove). I was standing right beside it so could not get the whole view. 

But here is a different one in a different room. 

That would be a literal hot seat. 

Instead of a designer handbag, one would have a fancy decorated stove. Probably more worth the expense.

And lovely woodwork.

And cumbersome clothes. 

Could you see your gents in these, driving big trucks and wrangling cattle? 

And an exhibit of stove tiles

And further on, a simply gorgeous set of dinnerware, 300+ pieces, made in a factory once by where the Lindt chocolate factory is now in Kilchberg. 





Entirely handmade and painted,  Every piece was unique. Every plate with a similar but different floral design.

And a random pillar holding up the building in the old part. No flat concrete here. 

A piece from an old church. 

Auf Wiedersehen, Herr Tell. 

Until next time.
