A trade behind the tools
Subjects such as basket weaving and cheesemaking give the crafts section different emphases. For an unfamiliar tool, ask which step in the work it was used for. This gives a full collection more coherence than simply walking past the objects.
Toys seen differently
The toy section offers a different way of recognising and comparing. Look not only at whether you know something, but also at how it was played with. Together with children, you can discuss what actions a piece of toy asks of the player.
Check Sunday first
Different schedules circulate for Sunday. The opening hours page lists all Sundays from April to September, while a more limited arrangement is given elsewhere. Have a Sunday visit confirmed for this reason; separate exceptions also apply around public holidays.
Before you go
Check Sunday opening directly and book in advance for a large group.
