Upon entering this historic museum, one encounters friendly faces and the utmost hospitality of the museum staff. Their manner and enthusiasm for history have taken us back a few hundred years when life was much simpler. Leaving the museum later in the evening, one feels much happier, much more peaceful, as if one has entered another era … where simplicity and joy are in control.
