Museum of daily life

Touch a coffee grinder and hear the beans being ground, smell the laundry detergent of yesteryear, do a dance in the wedding room, draw your own lucky charm or read an old New Year's letter.

In the main exhibition, you can discover more about the rituals, customs and traditions of everyday life from the 20th century to today.
