🧵 More sights of this room and its history. It shows rests of the bailiwick of the Fleckenstein family. They lost their bailiwick to the future #Swedish king in 1650 (yes, we then were Swedish!). The farm was destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and migrants were sought to rebuild it to its present state. The family came from Bohemia.

🧵 I promised you photos of what the museum guide discovers when she has to escape the crowds, goes into empty rooms and looks at unusual places. Descriptions: alt text. A small thread.

Do you know why #museums in many countries are closed on Mondays?
Sunday work can tire you out so much that you serve yourself coffee and an empty plate for breakfast.
Imagine if we were open on Mondays and you could hear a hearty snore in the exhibition! 😴 💤 (more in alt text)
BTW despite "don't touch" signs, we once found a child sleeping in one of the beds. The parents had fun in the cafeteria.

Countdown: our Alsatian #museum and #culturalHeritage centre reopens on 2 Febr. We are waiting so much for the end of the winter break!
Some news for me: I want to re-join as a #museumGuide and learn something new: As a student, I'll sit in a school class. My colleague teaches how to make butter by hand. I'll speak German with my French-speaking colleague, so the #bilingual class will have fun to exercise German. Well, you'll get new museum stories soon. 😊
