Rainy day, so headed to two museums. First was the Handwerksmuseum which turned out to be about "trades". There were exhibits about everything from the expected blacksmith, whose sign is in the photo, and barrel makers to hairdressers and glasses makers. Many of the tools were from the 50's and 60's, or so it appeared. Hair dryers from that time look like torture instruments.
The other museum was a folk culture museum, and was in many ways similar. It was in a palace, though, and included other stuff like an old school room (complete with big abacus), equipment for mountain sports (my favorite was the lineup of mountain climbing boots as they have evolved from the late 1800's to now), complete huts for dairy maids who made butter and cheese up in the high mountains with the cows, etc.
