A machine is only one step
According to the museum, the collection includes boilers, washtubs and old washing machines. Try comparing the objects not only by appearance but also by the task they were designed for.
After the wash
Irons, mangles and old clothing are also part of what is on offer. Choose a garment and think about what questions you would ask about how it was cared for. The collection invites you to look beyond the washing machine alone.
Milking gets attention too
The museum also describes a display about milking, from hand work to modern methods. Compare that subject with the laundry collection: what role does the human being play in the tasks shown?
Before you go
Visits are by telephone appointment only; the museum is closed on Sundays.
