The Obermutten local museum focuses on various aspects of rural life in the Walser mountain village of Mutten. The wooden building from the 17th century, which is still used as a home, contains historical furnishings that are thematically complemented by selected artefacts from the museum collection.
Description
There are currently two exhibitions on the topics of "Because the little lamp still glows" and "The fire and reconstruction of Obermutten".
Weil noch das Lämpchen glüht
Exhibition on the history of lighting with around 200 exhibits. In the old Walser house dating back to 1695, you can see 2000-year-old Roman oil lamps, a variety of tallow candles, various petrol, carbide and gas lamps. You will learn more about making fire, the cobbler's ball, the history of matchwood, the development of stereoscopy and the odyssey of the Muttner Bible. On 25 colour plates, you can read about the history of lighting in words and pictures in an easily understandable way.
