Switzerland - Eastern Switzerland

Folklore Museum

A Karen Brown Recommendation

Folklore Museum (Appenzeller-Volkskunde Museum)shares the life-style and customs of the people in this lovely part of Switzerland. Featured are some of the local crafts such as carpentry, weaving, and belt making. One exceptionally interesting exhibit shows 19th-century handiwork by the local farmers who painted furniture in their homes, as well as decorating their day-to-day utensils such as milk pails and farm instruments. One part of the museum is devoted to paintings by local farmers who depicted scenes from their everyday life on pieces of wood.
