A typical period kitchen is recreated. Hundreds of gadgets are exhibited which were used between the late 1800s and the 1950s. Among them are washing machines, manually operated vaccum cleaners, sewing machines from the 1860s, early gramophones and the Eddison Phonograph. Other displays include telephones, radios, typewriters, cooking utensils, glove stretchers, hat irons and many more curiosities.
