Please Do Not Touch The Exhibits
This is a typical 18th century kitchen,
The labels are informative,
but not exhaustively so,
and I’m afraid the aprons
are reproductions from China.
The bread shovel is small:
The loaves are small,
as valuable things often are.
Some were hanged for stealing bread.
Please do not touch the exhibits.
