Many of our buildings house themed exhibits dedicated to aspects of historical rural life, from silk production, traditional costumes, folk music, information on historical agriculture, to the importance of forests, mules, bee-keeping, birthing, marriage and death. And there are special children’s exhibits, too, including the Magic Forest and the House For Touching.
