Why go to the museum? · Things and people in the museum

Description

Why do things and people come to the museum?

Preserve
We inherit not only wealth from our ancestors but also our culture. This includes many objects, from a simple washboard to an elegant carriage. The older something is, the more emotions are connected to it, or the more expensive it once was, the more likely one wants to preserve it. If there is not enough space at home or one does not want to live with old things, such objects are handed over to the local museum. Our exhibition aims to show what comes into the museum and what then happens to it.

Show
In the exhibition rooms of the local museum, historical objects become tangible. This is different from just looking at a photo. You can touch, smell, use things, see every detail. This also makes developments, for example of kitchen appliances, directly understandable.

Learn
In the local museum, you can see and feel how people lived in a farmhouse in Kloten in the past, even if it was long before your own birth. Life in earlier times is also depicted in the changing special exhibitions. This way, you can learn why things are the way they are today.

Remember
Visitors like to remember past times through old objects or pictures. It also repeatedly shows that not everything was simply better in the past, but everyday life could also be quite arduous. That things that once belonged to life still have value in the museum promotes the connection between generations as well as to our culture, history, and origin.
