Additional information

• The exhibition is divided into two sections: the interpretation center and the historical reconstruction. While the interpretation center is brightly lit, the re-enactment is more subdued, recalling the light of oil lamps. A carpet covers the floor of one part of the exhibition, the living room in the historical reconstruction. It is also important to refer to the “interior entrance” sheet, which describes the passageway between the two sections of the exhibition.
