Really interesting! This small museum was a private residence and people leaved there until recently. Then has been bought by a company that restored the house and transformed it into museum. Very kind staff that explains vividly details of the house, serves tea and coffe and let you dress the table of the kitchen as in the past. A very pleasant and interesting experience, I really recommend.

Very recommendable. The place is not crowded at all, the staff is very friendly and ready to answer any questions you might have concerning the house. What surprised me most: They are not so stuck up about the interior, which means you are allowed to touch and use the furniture. There are free audioguides available in different languages.
