The Schmid family told us about this museum so we took a tour today. It is one of the largest historical museusms in this area. It comprises seven buildings built from 1375 to 1503 representing merchant family living quarters, occupations and trade and history of trade in the area. This museum is still a work in progress and has many new areas opening up this year.
Center area that shows some original parts of the buildings.
Same center area. Can see the walkways and stairs going to the higher levels that are not clear but only clouded. You can see through as you walk. It messes with your equilibrium or at least mine.
Elise exploring everything she can and of course not wanting to explore in the direction we need to go.
Spencer by a display.
Periodically Elise decided she needed to listen.
Elise and me trying to share so I could do more than read the German plaques.
One of the rooms. Elise liked to be able to look out these windows at the city.
Chair in previous room.
Carvings on the ceiling.
Elise loved to walk around and look at the displays. Often she pointed and talked like she knew just what they were all about.
Elise had to make sure that the platform here was safe to run on and that stepping up and down would work fine too. I think she played in this area for at least 10 minutes.
These stairs are only attached on the left side. They were another spot that kind of messed with your equilibrium especially when the wall is glass.
Very steep stairs up into a loft.
The same kind of stairs up into the kitchen area. The original stairs and only way to the kitchen. How would you like to climb them every time you went to or from the kitchen?
